R8000P FIRMWARE ISSUE ONGOING

Obviously an ongoing issue as there is not a fix at this time. I wanted to share this however:

 

Got a brand new in the cellophane R8000P exactly like the other one. Once connected it wanted to update from 1.4.1.42 to 1.4.1.50, which is NOT the latest firmware available for this model. I refused the update. I then downloaded, to my PC, the latest firmware, 1.4.1.62. I unzipped and uploaded to the router. After reboot, my firmware version was 1.4.1.62, the latest.

The other router, same model, it was automatically upgraded to 1.4.1.50 and now I can neither downgrade it to 1.4.1.42 nor upgrade it to 1.4.1.62
I have used every way possible way from different protocols to console commands. Seems that once these things are at 1.4.1.50 they are there forever.....or so it seems.

Model: R8000P|Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri Band WiFi Router
