And if your RBR has a verizon branded FW, you'll need to contact Verizon about there FW as Verizon develops there own FW for Obri HW based used sold by Verizon.

FURRYe38 , thanks so much.... I tried v.2.2.1.212 as you stated but it didn't take that either. Yes, it's a Verizon branded device so now I'm searching Verizon for the updates.

  EXCELLENT... Thank you so much! Now I just have to wait till my wife comes home with her Windows laptop. The instructions are not for Mac.

    You can try on Mac if you find a TFTP program for Mac or run it from the command line in mac though it's a bit more complicated I think.
