You can go directly to the the lastest that avaiable ON NGs download site. If you do, be sure to update the RBS first, then RBR lastly. I went from v16, to v60 manually by downloading the FW files. v102 appeared on the RBRs web page after v60 was loaded on the RBS and RBR, so I used UPDATE ALL on the RBRs web page there and i'm now on v102 and is working well since loading it last week. No factory reset was performed since I didn't see any problems.
