Netgear NightHawk M6. Downgrading Firmware. How?

Greetings all.

 

I have recently upgraded to new firmware version by going through my Nighthawk M6 web interface. 

I have started getting random reboots and wifi disconnects afterward. May or may not be related to the firmware update, but I would like to downgrade as a first step.

 

model.json shows

"FWversion":"NTGX65_12.01.54.00",
"modemFwVersion":"MPSS.DE.2.0-00989-OLYMPIC_GENALL_PACK-1.41921.6.45826.2",
"buildDate":"2024/04/12",
"BLversion":"",
"PRIversion":"05.12",

 

1. Is it possible to downgrade?

2. Where would I get the previous version?

 

thank you

    Have you factory reset the MR and setup from scratch to see if this changes the behavior?

        Is this the MR6150? 

        I have a MR6150 and same FW version that was updated not to long go. Not seeing any reboots on mine.

         

        Try a factory reset and setup from scratch on the MR. See if the these reboots stop.
