IF it works for now. let it run. If you notice anything, concider reverting. I did see one problem with status not reporting correctly for a ethernet connected RBS. Other wise, it seemed to work ok for me. I've since downgraded back to v16.

I recommend users load v16. That version worked well for me at least. if you have v32 loaded and don't experience any problems, keep it loaded. IF you are experiencing problems, revert back to v16.
Good to know. I have to admit, I have v32 installed and for me at least, it's been rock solid. Will leave as is for now. Will be interested to know what it is that's made NG pulli it. Obviously, if it's security reasons, I'll have to reconsider keeping it.
thanks

I did notice one change with .32 that I thought was good but maybe it's not. I have Enable Daisy-Chain Topology turned off as I noticed with it on, if someone was streaming and connected to the first RBS in the chain, it effected the other. Prior to .32, the UI was reporting that one of my RBSs had a "poor" connection to the RBR but it worked fine anyway. Now both show as having "good" connections. I wonder if it's a lie...

How do you have your RBS placed? For Daisy Chain to work correctly the RBS need to be out in a line from the RBR. Not in a star formation.
Distance between the RBR and RBS? 30 feet distance or more to start is recomended.
