My new PBE-M5-400 is running AirOS XW v6.2.0. Looking through the Ubiquity downloads, I don't see much for down grade options.
I will admit, the UI website is a little vast and confusing. I might have missed it on one of the passes.
Any input from the group.

802.11n
or
802.11ac
device?
I looked and did not find instructions for downgrading from AirOS XW v6.2.0.
I believe they are ac's. Here is what I base that on:
I have 6 other radio's of the same FCC ID (SWX PBE 5M) and the IC numbers match (6545A PBE5M). The original 6 all came with AirOS8. All went well using ac instructions.
The one I am working on was ordered about 6 months ago and is just being put into service now. When I open its control panel the logo just says AirOS. I think I remember the first set the panel actually said AirOS 8. I could be wrong. The first ones went up about 2 years ago. I have attached a copy of the UI screen.
I have the possible files to be used to make the downgrades off of the AREDN site. None of the 4 possibilities will load. I get a 413 error telling me they are to large. This AirOS version seems to be a memory hog. It is using 34% of the memory by itself.
So, at this point, this is what I think I know. Ant thoughts would be appreciated.

When I purchased it (~2018-2019?), XWs were new
and required a nightly build of a 'rocket-?.bin'.
Later they used a standard build. If your HWaddr is close to mine, you may have an 802.11n device.

Do you know how I can pull the addresses through the AirOS GUI? I have not gotten to the point where I have AREDN flashed on the radio. Or am I not thinking about this right?
I appreciate the help.

You were right. One of the tabs on the UI GUI, at the left end I think was either labeled menu or it was the tab with the logo on it. Anyway, if you open it it will give you the build date in moth and year for the radio. This one gave me July 2019. I took that to mean the radio might be old enough to be an n. I ran it like an n and it took.
I was pleasantly surprised that I could load 4.26.1.0 directly, but it worked.
Thanks again for the help.

You may have the largest AREDN network in Wisconsin!
I recommend that you join the 2400+ AREDN World nodes and services with a tunnel.
Then you may see all the fun the many folks on the World Map are having.
I suggest that you ask Casey KV3T or Bradley KD9LPW or Kraig KD0CGN for a tunnel.
Kraig has 27 active tunnels. What is one more gonna hurt. ;-)
