My concern is that I am not sure if this works on the rbk23, as you wrote, the method is for rbk53.

    Method is the same for all RBR/RBK systems. Just be sure you load the 20 series FW files. Load the RBS first, then RBR lastly.

    There is one quick way to find out: telnet into the router, apply the settings, and see what pops up.

    The bottom choice is North America, and should already be selected.  If the rest of the world is on the drop down menu, then you are "good to go".  No need to actually select one of the other choices.
