I acutally just down graded from 2.5.1.8 to 2.3.5.30. I could not get the online GUI or the iOS app to report reliably for me on 2.5.1.8. Actually it did start with flaky wifi so I reset the devices. Stabilty seemed to be restored after the reset, but then the connected devices went south on me regardless of the GUI. The online GUI also reported my Satellites as not connected.
The online GUI seems to want to auto-upgrade me when I go to the Firmware menu, but if I click on another menu item, it never really starts. The iOS app has this Update button, but it is not automatic. With a little luck I don't tap it :) If I go to the satellites individually they show up as 2.3.5.30.
Once I down graded either GUI seems to be accurate as to my environment. People seem to either hate or love 2.5.1.8. Good luck.
