Right now my router and satelite are running 2.1.4.10 and they are working great as is. It is saying that the update version is 2.1.4.16. Since my RBR50/RBS5 are working great with 2.1.4.10, I am hesitant to upgrade to 2.1.4.16 with all the problems I have previously read about in another thread. Any thoughts or advice? TIA!
Good evening. If your system works fine then I would apply "Never change a winning team". So no. Don't update.
If you find in the release note anything which interests you, then you should update. The 16 release fixed for example the HomeKit connectivity. If you don't have HomeKit then you don't care. If you have HomeKit and it works then you don't care neither.
Bottom-line: Avoid this update if you can wait for a better release, and don't have regrets.

V.Thanks for your advice! I do not use Homekit, so no advantage to updating!
