I am trying to downgrade now from 2.09 to 2.05. I have downgraded to eacc one down basically. So I have gone to 2.09 to 2.07 then 2.06. Each time doing a factory reset to make sure things were good. The problem now is I am trying to downgrade to 2.05 but there are two firmwares. What do I do? Do I downgrade to 2.05 1 first then to 2.05 2 or do I do 2.05 2 since I am going straight down and not going up

Thanks for all the help

You might go back even farther then upgrade to v2.05.

Why do you say that?

Which firmware do people think is the best?

They all were pretty good. Mine came with v2.02 however, I think the last FW i put on it was v2.06.

Mine came with 2.05. Is it safe to go back to an older one than that?

Maybe I will do 2.06 then and stick with that.

So I noticed my speed was better when I disabled multicast IP4. What happens if I disable IP6 as well? Also why is it that my speed increased when I disabled Multicast?

If your ISP isn't natively hosting IPv6 services, you can disable IPv6 multi-cast as well.
