Safe downgrade path:

• From V1.0.0B10 → V1.0.0B04 (usually works)
• From V2.0.0B06 → V1.0.0Bxx (often blocked)

To attempt a downgrade:

1. Download the older, official firmware.
2. Perform the web interface upgrade (Method 1). The system may reject the file with “Firmware is older than current version.”
3. If rejected, enable Developer Mode (if available) in the admin panel under Advanced Settings. Some hidden menus allow forcing downgrade.
4. If still blocked, use the TFTP recovery method – bootloader mode often bypasses version checks.

Warning: Downgrading may break carrier aggregation or introduce known security holes. Only do this if a new feature was removed or you are experiencing worse performance.
