-OpenWrt is not compatible with the bootloader of RouterOS **v7**. Do NOT upgrade your device to RouterOS v7 or, if you did, downgrade to RouterOS **v6** before installing OpenWrt.+OpenWrt is not compatible with the bootloader of RouterOS **v7** or **v6.46** or above. Do NOT upgrade the firmware on your device past RouterOS **v6.45.8** or, if you did, downgrade to RouterOS Firmware **v6.45.8** or earlier before installing OpenWrt.

 +This isn't fully true, while the first part looks correct: v7 RouterBoot doesn't work with OpenWrt, the second is not: my SXTsq 5 ac has v6.47.10 factory firmware, RouterOS doesn't allow to downgrade main firmware below factory, but openwrt boots and works fine with it!
