Downgrading firmware and mesh status - Is it safe?

paride — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 12:29:11 GMT

Due severe stability regressions with WiFi 6 in version 200.15, I want to downgrade by R350s to 200.14. As I understand it, this will also revert the configuration of the AP to the pre-upgrade state, which got automatically backed up internally. However: after upgrading to 200.15 I enabled mesh. Is it safe to do downgrade in this case, given that normally disabling mesh requires a factory reset? Thanks.

Hello @paride

Hope you are doing well ,

Essentially, the system will fully revert to the configuration settings from the time of the last backup, which was made in version 200.14. As a result, the mesh feature will also be disabled.

I recently conducted a test on an R350 Access Point running version 200.15. After enabling the mesh feature, I downgraded the system, which resulted in the mesh feature being disabled.
