        @aspiringnetworkadmin You cannot downgrade in the platform.

        You can get the ISO from the download path https://atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/downloads

        Your 2.6 config will not be importable into 2.5.2 - you will need to find a config file with the appropriate version number: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html

              @aspiringnetworkadmin The first is the VGA install, the second is for the ADI devices -- it should be a serial-based install.

                  @aspiringnetworkadmin I might be misreading that -- it could be the first is the ISO and the second is the USB file.
