Firmware Downgrade Image for AP230 (IQ Engine 10 to HiveOS 6.5/8.2) needed

Silverstone — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 14:24:42 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a standalone AP230 that was updated to IQ Engine 10.x.
I need to downgrade it to HiveOS 6.5 (or a compatible 8.2r6) to make it work with my on-premise HiveManager Classic.

Could someone please provide me with the AP230 firmware image file (.img)?

Thank you very much!
