RBK50 v2 - hardware changes
What are the differences between the RBK50 system and the RBK50 v2 system? I assume there were some hardware changes.

Thanks! These changes appear to be more of a cost reduction design rather than an improvement or upgrade.

You are quite welcome and I quite agree with you. I actually couldn't believe the appearance of the (3) 3.5A adapters I got with my RBK53 system. Those things must have added a bit to the cost and it's difficult to figure how these devices would draw anywhere near that (or why they needed to look like some high-end Apple accessory). Also, the USB port is sort of useless since they never did enable the thing as was originally envisioned - so it's absence will probably go unnoticed.
