I updated to this firmware on my RBS40 when I updated my RBK50 to v2.3.0.32, several days ago now.
As I have said elsewhere I'm not yet sure if a factory default reset and reconfigure will be needed due to some odd behaviours.
Overall the RBR50, RBS50 and RBS40 are working adequately without the re-configure.
Good to hear. Hoping a reset isn't needed. Just if odd or problems seem to appear, give a reset a try. Remember, save off the routers config to file before resetting. Can help save time.

About using a saved config.
I have always thought that using a saved config. might be problematic because the saved config might include some of the very settings that have changed which perhaps weren't updated by the new firmware, obsolete settings might not be a problem.
I guess, if one has a complicated configuration, the save and restore method would be worth a try but for fairly simple setups I'd want to be sure I wiped everything and was starting afresh.
I agree with you. Feel the same way about config files. For the most part I think they do work. Espeically with in the same FW version. Going across to different versions, i've always been wary of migrating and rather start fresh with a new config file for each FW version. I suppose one can load up a config file on a new FW version and see if things continue to work well. If not, then reset and start from scratch and save off a new config file.
