Still haven't fixed ethernet backhaul. I updated my RBR50 and satellite to this firmware, all was well for a minute or two, then the network crashed and had no internet. Multiple reboots and still no internet. I unplugged the ethernet backhaul link and rebooted the router and all is working again on the wireless backhaul...ugh.
Since 2.1.4.10 upgrade, ethernet backhaul seems stable to me, provided i follow these after each upgrade, else, i see crashes
1) shutdown other sat, disconnect other wired devices to ANY SAT and ROUTER
2) upgrade 1 sat, let it reboot, it will connect wireless first to router, just wait and eventually it will connect wired, wait @ 5 min till it get stable wired
3) Power up 2nd sat, let it get stable and connect wired, upgrade 2nd sat, let it reboot, let it get stable and let it connect wirelessly, then it will connect wired.
4) wait 10 min, let both sat get stable and connec to router wired
5) upgrade router, let it reboot, let it connect to the net but POWER IT OFF anyway,
6) go to GUI and watch the SATs get stable wired connection, it might flip back and forth, mine took about 5-10 min.
7) once stable connect your wired devices
hope it helps
