Manual updating RBS50 Satellite to FW v2.5.1.16
Hi. I'm running a RBK50 set up with the RBR50 router and a single RBS50 satellite. I've a quick question on manual updating of the RBS50 satellite. So, until yesterday I had FW v2.3.5.30 installe...
Sometimes the RBR and RBS may be out of sync. By experiences seen here in the forums and from what NG recommends, the RBS should always be updated first, then the RBR lastly. We've seen it where the RBR is updated first then the RBS becomes out of sync and looses connection between the RBR and itself as the FW was not graduated on the RBS. So the conclusion was and now seems to be that if users update the system manually, users need to download both RBS and RBR FW files, update the RBS first, then RBR lastly. This will keep the RBS in sync with RBR and the new FW being applied.
If the RBS is still connected, and you have access to it's web page, you can manually apply the RBS FW to the RBR there.
