I dare say it's possible for a malfunctioning client to do something that triggers some kind of stuff-up. Even one without bugs can get upset by power glitches. They also have firmware updates, and it's worth considering installing them. They are the thing between you and the internet, and many have security shortcomings. If it's an older one, it's also well worth considering upgrading it and you find out it has security flaws and there's no updated firmware for it. > I will say that attempting fw downgrade is probably dangerous. > That's probably true of all software as upgrades are usually tested, > but not downgrades. Some firmware updates are just a patch that's run at every boot. Don't run the patch, and it's still running how it used to before hand. Other firmware updates replace the firmware on the device. Switching back may not be possible. You'd need a copy of the older firmware, and you'd need the device to accept installing an older version. Some won't. You could be lucky and have a device with enough RAM that it won't actually install a replacement, but loads it as a second firmware. But I've only heard of that on motherboards. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
