G'day all, have recently set up a Pi-Hole and Unifi Network server on my raspberry pi to control my two acces points, however one of my acces points is a AP AC v2 and is in ubuiquitys words has "reached its end of use" period and isnt supported by the current controler version. im not much of a coder and after spending a hour in the setting on the browser theres no way to roll back to a previos version, does anyone know of a way i can ssh into the pi and tell it to update to a older version and if not does anyone know of a way to make it install the older version oposed to the current version and ill just reset the hole pi again. cheers for your support.

It was revealed in 2017 that November 2018 marked the final release for that model. The 5.6.x series will be the last supported version. If you possess a backup from the 5.6.x controller, you can revert to 5.6 by installing it and restoring from that point. Otherwise, you'll need to reset all your equipment and manually rebuild the site, as significant database changes have made 5.11 incompatible with 5.6. Generally, switch to the updated AP AC v2 and retain the newer controller version.
