Ubiquiti Firmware changes

Is it me, or is Ubiquiti changing all of the old firmware to comply with whatever it is they are doing, as well as preventing Airmax from being disabled in devices like a nanostation loco m2. I received a new Rocket 5AC Lite about a month ago, and was not able to go from 8.7.11 to 8.5.12 (I run only 8.5.12 on access points due to channel skipping), I was able to get it to 8.7.8 or something, then bring it down to 8.5.12. I’ve noticed the build numbers are different from my older 8.5.12 file, to a newer 8.12.5 if I downloaded it now. I have also noticed on UISP I’m not able to see details of a device unless its on 8.7.11 or .12. Maybe a big change is coming for Airmax?

Not sure – they disabled the option to turn off airmax a long time ago.

But not on nanostation locos… I was able to find an old version to use it as an outdoor access point.
