One last question. After the instalation FW 2.0.0.74 and the hard reset, I will need to set up everything from the begining, right? ie. I will need to run the setup application as I did when I got out of the box?

After v2.0.0.74 is loaded, load the RBS first with v60 FW.
Then you'll need to load the RBR with v212 firmware first, then apply v60 FW.
Factory reset after v60 is loaded and setup from scratch.

Guys
It took some time to my old Geek skills to comeback but finally I did it. Everything seems to be ok and my hardware is on the latest FW version.
Thank you all for the support and tips. You really saved the day.
Very much appreciated.
Kind regards.

Glad you got it updated now. Be sure to backup the routers configuration to file for safe keeping. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
