I assume you meant disabling “Frame Counter Checks”.

Like the warning in TTN Console says, _“Disabling frame counter checks drastically reduces security and should only be used for development purposes”_ you should **really** only disable that during development, if ever, [and that also needs changes in your device to disable checks for downlink counters](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/abp-node-stopped-working-fixed-by-creating-new-abp-why/3200/7).
