I got 2.1.4.16 via autoupdate and it's worked well thus far (but then I had no issues with 2.1.4.10, nor any of the earlier releases).
I am able to access the internet on .16. Manually updated everything when they dropped the file for RBS50Y a while back.

I've tried the wall plug satellite RBW30 prelaunch, but it caused issues with the network so I kicked it to the curb.
I still wonder why there is such a giant disparity in user experiences with these units and the firmware.
