We have had problems with our ZD1100 (9.1.0.0 build 23) so acquired another ZD1100 (9.8.2.0 build 15). unit. The new ZD was manually setup identically and the original turned off. The access points were set to approve and we could see them on the new ZD. However because of the differences in firmware the 7363 APs tried to update but kept failing with the following messages on the AP logs :-
687 apmgr, Failed to get Image Response messagae and reboot
rsmd, stops APMgr and reboots AP later.
AP04 daemon.notice Firmware Daemon[619]: working|control file download problem

AP04 local2.err syslog: Firmware update error.
AP04 local2.err syslog: Proceed to RESET state from IMAGE state, no resp after 15 re-transmits
Although the AP has the same ip address that it has before, ZD will not allow me to edit the settings to put Subnet and gateway. I am not sure if the APs get the firmware update from the ZD or over the internet?
We do not want to upgrade the firmware on the original ZD1100 as it is temperamental and we cannot be without wifi for very long. Is it possible to downgrade the firmware to the same level as the original so that the APs do not need to update? An suggestions as the best way to proceed? Many thanks
