- Feb 03, 2021I became aware of the latest firmware while browsing this forum. Neither the app nor the web interface indicated an available update. I downloaded the files via my computer and performed a manual update via the web interface -- one satellite first, then the other, then on to the router. (RBK50) In the past, I have had updates pushed out (only once); notices both on the web and app of firmware updates available; and updates that I found were released via this forum which I've manually installed (the latter seems to be the most frequent way I have updated firmware). Through all ways, I have never had the slightest issue with downloading and installing updated firmware.

Just to let you know I did the upgrade from V2.6.1.40 to V2.7.2.104 version and had no issues.
First upgrade the satellites and then the RBR50.
Best Regards,

So what I am reading is that .102 or .104 will fix the wired backhaul issue, but I may experience some ARP issues for the first 5 minutes. The issue I had before was the backhaul status was not showing as wired, I downgraded to 2.5.1.16 to have this work.
Can someone please confirm before I spend time this weekend in upgrading? Thank you in advance.

Yes, v102 and v104 work with ethernet back haul. Just this odd ARP storm is seen for about 2 minutes then stops, only if and when the RBS are ethernet connected to the RBR.
