It wont do that, but there is a firmware that essentially bricks the unit from doing aimesh, and you won't be able to downgrade or upgrade.

One thing to be aware of is he provides -10% support (that's a negative as in you WILL get yelled at) for modded TM-1900's. So if you have issues pick alternate support sites than his forum.
