Well v4 has been superseded by v40:
If you download the FW file for the RBR, and unpack the .zip file, using IE11, Edge, Firefox or Opera, the RBR should accept the FW upate file.

You might want to downgrade the RBS to v16. v16 seems to be the most stable version FW.
Up to you though.- AkoreJepadeDec 11, 2020Tutor

Ya the RBSY doesn't have more updated FW. No idea if or when they will get an update.
