Connect a MikroTik router to FreeACS (tr069-client)

Updated 26 October 2026

RouterOS has a TR-069 client in the tr069-client package, one of the extra packages. It speaks the TR-181 data model.

Steps

1. 1

   Download the extra packages for your RouterOS version and architecture from mikrotik.com, upload tr069-client to the router’s Files, and reboot.

2. 2

   Point it at FreeACS, with the username and password from your dashboard:

   /tr069-client set acs-url=https://acs.freeacs.net/ username=YOUR_USERNAME password=YOUR_PASSWORD

3. 3

   Turn on periodic inform:

   /tr069-client set periodic-inform-enabled=yes periodic-inform-interval=15m

4. 4

   Enable it:

   /tr069-client set enabled=yes

5. 5

   Check its status, then look under Devices in FreeACS:

   /tr069-client print

If it does not appear

• If the client reports certificate errors on older RouterOS, use acs-url=http://acs.freeacs.net/ instead.
• The package must match the router’s RouterOS version exactly.
