    To get from old 1st generation FW, you need to install v2.0.0.74 first on the RBS then the RBR lastly. Then you can migrate to v212, on the RBR then lastly v30. After applying v74 on the RBS you should be able to go directly to v30 on the RBS. It's the RBR that needs the intermediate v212 before v30.

Mine is stuck on version V1.8.0.6. It always says NO NEW FIRMWARE VERSION AVAILABLE. On my app, it has always had the red UPDATE button but never allows me to update. When I go to settings and router (on app), there is no CHECK FOR UPDATES button, just a REBOOT button. Thoughts?
