The original firmware for the router is available for download, so that in case of any problems with future versions, rolling back to the first known working version to be quick and easily available.

Bear in mind, that if this is needed, the firmware mustn’t be upgraded using a wireless connection, and it is strongly recommended not to power off or reboot the device during the update process, so that the device doesn’t encounter any future problems.
