Can a router running 1.13NA be downgraded to 1.01NA, or is it the same as the previous versions that do not allow downgrading to the earlier 1.01 version?

The answer is NO.
I didn't want to be the brave one here but too late now. Two months and no reply and the release notes this time did not state firmware can't be downloaded. When I tried to upload v1.01 I got this message:
UPLOAD FAILED
The uploaded firmware file may not be correct. You may have uploaded a file that is not intended for this device, or the uploaded file may be corrupted.
If the uploaded file is correct, it is possible that the device may be too busy to properly receive it right now. In this case, please try the upload again. It is also possible that you are logged in as a 'user' instead of an 'admin' - only administrators can upload new firmware.
The Gateway will not be reprogrammed.
