Is Downgrading RUT956 Firmware Supported?

Hello community,
Are there any restrictions or limitations when downgrading the firmware on an RUT956 device? I need to restore a backup that was created on version 7.05.4, but the device is currently running 7.18.3. When I attempt to downgrade to 7.05.4, I receive an error stating that the image is incompatible. I also tried using the CLI, but it reports that the firmware is unsupported by the hardware.

Greetings, Camilo,

Thank you for your message.

The error you are seeing is expected, as the system prevents downgrading when there is a significant version gap between the current firmware and the one you are trying to install. However, you can still perform the downgrade by flashing the firmware through the bootloader menu.

You can find a detailed step-by-step guide on how to do this here:

Additionally, you can find all officially available firmware versions here:

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know.

Kind regards,
V.
