i just thought i would try 1.35na firmware and i decided i wanted to go back to 1.33na, well you cant >:(
BE FOREWARNED.
i don't know what is the big deal about stopping you from downgrading your firmware that they lock you out of it. it never used to be a problem, pretty sure i could downgrade from 1.34na to other 1.3 firmware.
the reason for allowing people to downgrade is incase the new firmware does not work properlly. not allowing your customers to do this is just asking for trouble not to mention alienating your customers.
at work we downgrade firmware to the firmware that passed our quality tests, it also makes it easier to support them when they are all the same.
i hope 1.35 works well so i dont have to buy another router. if it doesn't you can be sure it wont be another dlink thats for sure.

I have used 1.35NA since the release date with no issues. You can't downgrade because of the removal of the securespot stuff. They should have numbered it 1.40 so that its more apparent that the downgrade is not possible.
There is a work around firmware on here that will allow you to downgrade, but since I have never used it and it comes from a non-official source, I will let you search for it and decide whether you want to use it or not.

yeah the workaround doesnt work with this new firmware either i tried it. you are right they should have warned that you will be unable to downgrade yet again and changed to 1.4 to signify so.

I sent them a tech support message to put a disclaimer on it.
