Config sync is just the satellite getting connection have you tried to power cycle the unit and see if it goes away?

Ever since upgrading to firmware .18 this same things happens to me alot now. I, like many others are getting pretty sick of this happening especially since this expensive system is more problematic than my older and cheaper ASUS router.

My RBR40 was at firmware V2.1.2.18, my wall plug satellite at V2.1.2.2 and I was having the same problem with the satellite staying at "config sync". I downgraded the router firmware to 2.0.0.56 and the problem went away.
