May we know why do you want to downgrade the router firmware to the older version? We will check the resource then to see if we can still get it for you.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Just to confirm again, which one is the main router in the network, the C7 or the AX6000? While one is the WDS router?

 

Do you mean the WDS status shows RUN, while the internet is still not working when connect to the WDS router? Will the PC or phone get a correct IP address from the network when it is connected to the WDS router? We hope we could know more about the issue you are experiencing, and we can try to provide a solution without downgrading the firmware to the old version.

Hi, @Kevin_Z 

 

my network it based on the WDS connection between the routes of AX6000; C7 v5; C60v2.

 

main router is the AX6000 with 192.168.1.1 IP which connected to pppoe. with 1Tbps internet fibre connection

 

second router is the archer C7 v5 IP set to 192.168.1.2 IP (DHCP off) WDS on at 5G(tried the 2.4G to)

i don't use the wifi on C7(however needs to be ON to be use WDS) used as bridge to LAN connection to other 3 device.

 

third router (I was used to try out) was the C60 v2 set to the 192.168.1.3 IP same settings as at the C7 v5 second router.

 

all channel settings are set correctly. 

 

its look like for me that I had an old firmware that didn't had ONEMESH in both device as ax6000 and C7v5 i just try to revert

back them. 

 

THX!

Hi, @Kevin_Z 

Thx the files was worked for me I could reverse the firmware and the WDS is functioning.

 

i observed a speed improvement 

 

ax6000 wifi6 to my laptop with wifi6 card 10m distance given speed of UP 513Mbps DOWN 100(which is max) improvement

 

the C7 at the same place as a laptop on LAN gives similar speed around UP 513Mbps   improvement

 

the C60 placed on the attick 10m across plasterboard wall makes UP 110Mbps DOWN 30~50Mbps.  due C60 is max UP&DOWN 100Mbps

 

i just observed that the C60v2 doesn't have a firmware update and is dated 2016, there any chance that will be any update on it????

 

 

THX again for your help!!!!!

That is good to know. We have reported this issue to the support engineers, they will look into this.

 

As for the firmware for Archer C60 v2, there is no other versions now.

Dear @Kevin_Z 

 

Can you please give me the old stock firmware?

I am having a lot of instability in this new version 1.1.3 Build 20210519 rel.50598(4555).

I am constantly losing internet activity, the light turns orange.

 

I am desperate, internet conenction is always losing connection, I need internet to work.

 

in the past i didn't had ANY problem, always working.

 

Can I backup the configuration, restore to old firmware and restore configuration backup?

 

Thank you very much.

I think you can downgrade to the previous version directly, you can give it a go. Generally, if the latest version cannot be downgraded to the previous version, there will be a note in the firmware download page:
