Tags: #Firmware Update #Gateway backup files
Model: ER706W  
Hardware Version: V13
Firmware Version: 1.2.2 Build 20250928 Rel.80480 (4555)

I have two Omada gateways.

"Old" device purchased about 12 months ago.

"New" device purchased last month.

 

 

The Hardware version and firmware version of the NEW device is, Hardware = v1.30, Firmware = 1.2.2 Build  20250928 Rel.80480 (4555)

For the OLD device, currently in use, Hardware = v1.20, Firmware = 1.1.6 Build 20241211 Rel.58391(4555)

 

I was planning to use the NEW device as a spare for two locations that we have.

So my plan was to download the backup config for the OLD device and have that available to load up to the NEW device when necessary.

 

However I have just found that the backup file from the OLD device won't load to the new device because the firmware is incompatible.

But I can't upgrade the firmware on the OLD device to match because the Hardware versions are not the same.

 

So the question is - is there anything that I can do to bring the two devices to be compatible with each other?

 

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi  @snvb 

 

Thanks for reaching out to TP-Link Business Forums.

 

For these two hardwares, we have already upgraded them to the latest firmware V1.2.8.

Firmware for ER706W(EU) V1.2: ER706W | Omada Gigabit AX3000 WiFi 6 VPN Gateway | Omada Network Support

Firmware for ER706W(EU) V1.3: ER706W | Omada Network Support

 

For V1.2 ER706W, please make sure you upgrade it to V1.2.2 firmware first before upgrading it to the latest one.

 

Guidance for how to upgrade the firmware of the gateway: How to Manually Upgrade Omada Gateway Firmware | Omada Network Support

 

However, please note that due to their different hardware, even if the firmware is the same, backup files cannot be imported between them.
