where to find old router os version

We have a bunch of old routerboards that need to have the routerOS upgraded. Does anyone know where to find old routerOS versions? The boards are mostly 112's and some 133's. so mipsle. The versions we need are 2.51, 3.13. 3.30 and 4.18. Is there any ftp server anywhere that has old versions?

I know someone will say we can use netinstall, but we have about 50 of them, and they are all at customer locations, and some on high up on towers, so we prefer to do it remotely.

Any help would be appreciated.


here is what the system says

I have 3.30 for you available, but can also be found on MT download page.
AFAIK 4.17 is latest in 4.x serie.
Maybe they can be upgraded to ros 5.x

Thank you, that last link had all the packages I needed! Just so if anyone stumbles on this thread, the reason you need the old packages is if you want to remotely upgrade a router over ftp, or ssh with out doing a net install. You can't upgrade directly from 2.9.4x to anything above 3.13. it will cause a kernel panic, you will have to pull the board and do a net install. This is for sure with the 100 series boards, and the 500 seriers boards. The only way to do it reliably is to upgrade to 2.51 and then upgrade firmware, and restart. Then upgrade to 3.13 and again upgrade the firmware. Then you can upgade to 3.30 and again upgrade firmware, and license key. After this you can upgrade to the latest version.
