If your Mikrotik device came with a factory operating system newer than v6.45.8, you can follow the instructions on this page (`OpenWRT - downgrading RouterOS `_) to downgrade Mikrotik RouterOS prior to flashing with AREDN |trade|. Download the ARM version (routeros-arm) for devices that use the *ipq40xx* AREDN |trade| firmware, and the MIPSBE version (routeros-mipsbe) for other AREDN |trade| devices. Preparation - Download *both* of the appropriate Mikrotik *factory* and *sysupgrade* files from the AREDN |trade| website. Rename the initramfs-kernel file to ``rb.elf`` and keep the *sysupgrade* **bin** file available for later.
