Hi I have just updated the firmware to 1.1.0 Build 20200714 rel.30791(4555)
The problem with this version is that I have no control over the firewall settings any more.
On the previous firmware I could turn off DDOS detection for ICMP packets. Now all those menu options are gone.
I needed this to be turned off because the router was detecting traffic from my VPN software as an ICMP flood attack and blocking the ip of my laptop.
This flood detection is now happening again under the new firmware and now I cant turn it off.
All I can do is reboot the router and I have to do that through the on/off switch because there is no reboot option in the menu any more.
Basically this firmware make my router unusable to me so I want to downgrade to the old version of the firmware.
I have downloaded Archer C2300(EU)_V2_1909223.bin from your website but when I try the firmware upgrade procedure in the modem and select that bin file I get the message "unable to upgrade"
Please tell me how to go back to the older firmware.
I don't want to enter into lengthy troubleshooting. I have lost too may options to control my router through this firmware upgrade so I just want to go back to the old firmware.
Please tell me how to downgrade.
Thanks,
Sean

Just as a matter of interest:
Was your problem also with the privateinternetaccess client generating ping packets which triggered the flood protection in the router?

@SeanBir can I ask if the beta firmware that you have been provided is a newer version of the firmware available?
is it possible to provide a copy of it?
thanks

No, the beta was actually just a version of the current firmware with the restriction removed that prevents downgrading.
To be honest , if you want to downgrade you would be better off just forcing the router into recovery mode which will allow you to downgrade rgeradless of the current firmware.
That process is described in post #9 by me in this thread.
I would be happy to share the beta with you but it is almost 32MB so cannot send by email but if you want to set up a shared dropbox or google drive folder or something similar and PM the link to me I will drop the beta in there.

Interesting.
Was thinking about trialling Mullvad myself. Seems to get good reviews.
You happy with it?
Does it support Wireguard?
What sort of throughput do you get relative to your normal bandwidth? In theory Wireguard can maintain 90%+ of bandwith.
