    Also, can they interoperate?  I have an RBR50v2 and an RBS50v2 - I assume I can add an RBS50v1?

    Besides the USB port, the v2 router has less storage.  No one has ever mentioned problems connecting a v1 satellite to a v2 router.

So there are no pluses to the V2?  I'm looking for an RBS50 - if I have the opportunity to buy a V1 RBR50/RBS50 pair for a decent price, it might be worth it to swap out my RBR50v2?

IF yoru wanting the V1 for the USB port and USB drive functionality, v1 doesn't support USB drives on the USB port FYI. Not alot you can do with the USB port. :smileyfrustrated:
