Fixed (so far): 2.5.1.16 seems to be better at maintaining continuous wi-fi signal. On 2.5.1.8, the RBS50 satellite would appear reboot itself several times a week (as evidenced by loss of coverage for several minutes and the appearance of the blue ring). Fingers crossed on results as the week progresses.
Side note: when I first upgraded to 2.5.1.16 and did a factory reset, the RBR50 router couldn't connect to the WAN (a big red "NO INTERNET"). After a couple of reboots, it was able to connect. Not sure if this was a one-time problem, but it does make me reluctant the next time I have to reboot the router.
