Error Upgrade - ERROR: can not change firmware to this version

Hello

Srs. forum Mikrotik


I have a mikrotik 2011UiAS-2HnD with firmware version 6.34.3 but when trying to update the routerboard the error Error Upgrade - ERROR: can not change firmware to this version, please try newer one (1) appears.

I attach an image of the error.

What exactly are you trying to do? If you’re trying to downgrade Routerboard firmware from 3.33 to 3.24, then you can’t … it’s not possible to downgrade below factory firmware (which is 3.33 on your device).

And another question: what exactly are you trying to do? Your device is running 8 years old ROS and the most sensible goal (in most cases) would be to upgrade to latest v6 LTS version (6.49.13). The process may not be the most straight-forward, there have been a few conceptional changes in ROS during these years (ROS upgrader tries to convert config, but its success rate is below 100%). Additionally, your firewall config (if you’re using this device as router/gateway) is most likely subpar (regarding security and performance).

So again: what are you trying to do?
