  • 1.  How to: downgrade IAP firmware

    Posted Mar 22, 2016 02:08 PM
    We are facing trouble latest (early availability) firmware on our IAP103's can not work with Airwave. They are on customers site. We want to downgrade IAP's to a firmware version that is supported byAirwave. How can we do that?

    It seems (using port forwarding) using Instant Webgui access - maintenance tab - brwose to pegasus file on pc and click on upgrade - nothing seems to change. It keeps on latest firmware after the reboot.

    Any ideas?

    Under Groups > (IAP GROUP) > Firmware

    You need to enable "Allow Downgrade Of Devices:"

    4.2.4.9 will not work.
