Interesting....when 6.x was still brand new I would routinely downgrade
RB4xx boards to ROS 5.x. So it certainly worked at some point.

Chris,
That's what I'm saying too. They shipped a non bugfix release which
means it is going to be less stable on the shipped version than I want
it to be.
Mikrotik support came back and said it might be one month or MORE until
they have a bugfix release higher than the 6.35.2 version it shipped
with which is the "Current" branch and not the "Bugfix" branch we want.
They said they're going to release 6.37.1 first on "Current" branch
then work on bugfix after that.
This is not what I wanted to hear when I bought a bunch of CCR routers
and can't even put on a stable RouterOS version.

I don't think it's wise to downgrade below shipped firmware.

Subject: [AFMUG] Can't downgrade mikrotik routeros
Hello all,
We are trying to install our normal mikrotik os version which is
6.32.4 since we have tested and found it the most stable.
The latest ccr router we received has 6.35.2 on it and we're not
having any luck getting it to downgrade to the stable bug fix version.
Some mikrotik forum posts say that you're not able to downgrade the
software below what it shipped with. I find this doesn't make sense
because the os didn't ship with the bug fix release, but rather the
more unstable "current" version.
Any advice how to downgrade when the normal procedure doesn't work? Is
it possible to downgrade to a version lower than what the factory
installed?
If not, would net install work to force the version we want? The way
it is now, there's not even a possible way to install the latest
6.34.6 bug fix release since it's lower than 6.35.2
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
