Hi, I just got a Mikrotik hAP ac3 with RouterOS v7.8 installed. I read in the Aredn docs that I need to downgrade the RouterOS to v6.x and then flash the Aredn FW. I've also read that you can not flash the ac3 with a version of the RouterOS earlier than what came from the factory. So it seems I should send this back for a refund, if I understand correctly. Much of this knowledge is from the OpenWrt page on the subject. I've successfully flashed 6 hAPac Lites, 4 SXTsq5ac and 2 SXTsq lite 2 nodes, so I know the process. Does anyone have recent practical experience or advice? Thanks in advance.

This has happened to me a few times before and I will re-try the flashing, but would like to use the version that worked for you, if possible. Thanks
If you are curious about what RouterOS your new node may have been running, or at least an upper bound, the Router OS Change Log can be found at
https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs/
When the link opens, I think you need to go to the MikroTik site, and select Software. Check both the Stable Release Tree and Long Term Release Tree.
