Before you go trying to load firmware to it ( which is dangerous ) don't you think you should try and find out why it is overheating?

Should I do a downgrade to
a 10.x?

Or schould I use it without a battery. In LTE Mode its not going to overhead but in LTE/5G its doing this.

That is good then that you did not try to reload the firmware because it was not needed and you may have put your device
in jeopardy doing so, firmware loading should always be a last resort because it is not always successful and can leave your device borked worse than it was.

for using an external battery I think that this is the best vase

then I will remove the divider pad turn the router 90 degrees and plugin an external batter with an removed internal battery for a full speed use. Or are ther some other solutions?
