Hi, If you don't mind, I'd like ask a few questions regarding QCA6174 firmwares.
1. I've notice that QCA6174 hw3.0 4.4.1 firmwares have 4 versions (none, c1, c2, c3). Are there any differences? Which one is newest or correct? 2. My QCA6174 seems to have a compatibility issue with a recent firmware. I've tested theses firmware versions, but only the oldest one works.
