Odd that the support document can be gotten to properly from the RBK53 product page but not from the RBK50 one. And when you open, it clearly states intended for
RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.0.32
Anyhoo, diving into the deep end now. And...

The 50 series is all inclusive. K is for Kit. Which is the box with a router and 1 or two satellites in the box.
This includes the RBK50, RBK53, RBK50V, and RBK52W. Which the actual phsycial models in each of these kits is the RBR50 and RSB50.

Two notable things I noticed immediately. Apparently the new firmware doesn't like the default password provided and initially offered. I had used the option to select the original wifi password for admin access. I'll deal with that one later.
Second was a popup for something called Armor I think. Can't say I've ever seen an upsell notice during any form of firmware update, so this is a new one on me.
Everything appears operational, although I'll get around to doing a factory reset on both boxes later on to be safe.
And yes I agree the connected device details look better now in the iPhone app.
Cheers.

Let us know how it goes after a factory reset and walk thru the setup wizard. Input new values here.
Read the release notes for new features that may have been added. :smileywink:
