How to revert AX53 firmware to previous version?
Can you help me to revert firmware 1.5.4 on AX53 back to 1.5.2?
v1.5.4 completely breaks easymesh with Ethernet backhaul, which worked fine with v1.5.2.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hello @ThomasG1 ,
Would you mind rebooting the entire network?
Please unplug and replug the cable between the main router and satellite router.

Hello @Joseph-TP ,
Thank you for your answer. I turned off all routers (AX53 main router, two AX53 (via Ethernet backhaul) and one AX23 (via WLAN) as satelite routers), and, starting with the main router, turned one after the other on, waiting 5 minutes for each. And it worked! Thanks for the suggestion.
Another question: Can you please fix the DHCP Client in the firmware? Satelite routers use DHCP to get their IP address, but regardless of the lease time they get for the IP address, after around 34 seconds the router reports that 1/2 of the lease time expired and it's now renewing the lease. My DHCP server gives a lease for 60 days, but the satelite routers keep refreshing every ~34 seconds. That causes a lot of unnecessary renewals! (I also tried with different lease times on the DHCP server, like 1 hour or 1 day, but it is always the same ~34 seconds renewal period.)
Here is a log from the router showing what I mean (the router even says in its own log that it got a lease for 5184000 seconds = 60 days):

Hello @ThomasG1 ,
I'm glad my advice was helpful.
Please note that the satellite's DHCP server 'lease time' primarily reflects connectivity with the main router, not the actual lease time. It won't affect normal network usage, so please don't worry.
