firmware updating
While updating my Firmware - some how I updated the satitlte to 2.3 (skipping 2.2.12) - Now I can't update the router to 2.3, How can I correct this and update the router to the latest verision?
The timing and object you suggested is what I did and the process I used - I must of made a error in the process - now I want to correct - HOW?
If the satellite updated to v32 ok, then all you need to do is apply v212 to the RBR50 and after it takes, apply the v32 file. That is all. Just use a wired PC connected to the RBR50. You may want to try a factory reset on the RBR first and do a basic setup. Skip the setup wizard, then go in and apply v212. Let it apply, then apply the v32 file. Reset after that then walk thru the setup wizard.
You did not need to update satellites to the intermediate... they can go directly to the final version. This is because their firmware is much less complex (and smaller size) than the Router's firmware.
The reason you need to update the Router (RBR) to the intermediate is there is existing code in there that restricts the size of the firmware it is allowed to load. The newest firmware exceeds that size. The intermediate firmware changes the max firmware size so the newest firmware can load.
