Like @netcrypt9119 said, the hardware version cannot be changed, only firmware is available to be upgraded or degraded. 

 

Good day.

@aomara your Hardware version is V3 which cannot be changed, each hardware version has their own set of firmware.

 

Here is the firmware list for V3: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-wa901nd/v3/#Firmware
