Hi,

we ordered a few Chateaux for testing. They came with FW 7.0beta. I tried to downgrade one to the current stable. But
it tells me that it requires minimum FW version 6.99.

Is there a means to use it with a stable firmware? I definitely do not want to deploy this device to customers
with an experimental firmware. So it would no option for now.

From product specification: "RouterOS 7.0 (compatible only with v7 and above)"

Chateau is not compatible with ROS v6 (the actual stable version) you need wait to the first ROS v7 stable version is released.

Regards.

you can only use a development channel and track that versions like now RouterOS 7.1beta2

It is a product shipped with firmware that doesn't work properly.

That's you have a support channel, read info at mikrotik.com/support

I agree it would be more honest to explicitly say in the product brief "this product comes with beta software which is only infrequently updated but has many known issues".
Customers can still decide if they want to get it. Loyal MikroTik customers probably would, but new customers could be put off by the experience and never buy MikroTik again. Not good.

They always writed it.....

Operating System RouterOS (v7 only)

Is a very clear advise.

That may be clear advise to the loyal MikroTik customer who has several other MikroTik devices.
For the new buyer that is as clear as mud. When you buy a new router will you check that the firmware version it runs is in fact only a beta version?
You will notice that only when you encounter some issue and try looking for an upgrade, and find out that it says "beta" in the version.
The product page does not even say Operating System RouterOS (v7beta only)

I agree.
More, MikroTik Chateau LTE18 from ISP: LMT is selling with RouterOS 7.0 Stable :) like here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=164825&p=824730&hi ... 18#p813339

Additionally, when you click the RouterOS Current Release link here: https://mikrotik.com/product/chateau_lt ... -downloads it downloads the latest stable (6.48.1) which is incompatible with Chateaux... I just do not understand how could MT sell any product which such ambiguity. This product is not ready for production. It must be stated on the website. Buy it at your own risk. Period.

drnpkr say:

RouterOS Current Release link here: https://mikrotik.com/product/chateau_lt ... -downloads it downloads the latest stable (6.48.1) which is incompatible with Chateaux..

Probably you cannot send e-mail then I report that for you to support@mikrotik.com and I receive ticket ID: SUP-45815
I hope they generate URL to latest RouterOS v7beta-latest

THIS IS A DISGRACE. Where is clear information which one is proper for LTE12? Cmon guys this is BS.

There's a super special v7 STABLE version only for Chateau. However, the regular downloader program doesn't know this and tries to download an incompatible version, but it doesn't tell you this. Chateau is also compatible with v7 BETA that is totally different.

This is the 7.0.3 only for Chateau LTE12

Only Chateau LTE12!
