1.
Downgrade the new v5.x router to v4.5 to match the current production router.
2. Export config from v4.5 production router. Since the "compact" option doesn't exist in v4, you will have to do a full /export. In the terminal, do:
3. Copy the new myBackup.rsc file to your computer. Open with a text editor and edit / modify as necessary.
* NOTE *
All router MAC addresses are also exported to the config file. If this config file is applied directly to another router, its MAC addresses will be changed. To remove all specific MAC addresses from the config, search and remove the "mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" entries for ethernet and wireless interfaces (there may be other entries you want to keep such as firewall rules or whatever).
Milliscript is also useful for removing MAC addresses.

4. When you are finished editing, copy / paste the config into the new router's terminal,
-or- copy the file to the new router and do:
I usually prefer copy / paste because any import errors are easier to find and troubleshoot.
5. After the script has been successfully imported and you are satisfied with the new configuration, upgrade the router.
