Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...
I updated my RBR50 and RBS50 manually on 03 Oct. I had no issues with the previous firmware except that I used to see occasional momentary loss of WiFi on my iPad when it was conected to the satellite. So far I have not seen this with the updated firmware but I think it's too early to say that it has definitely been eradicated.
2.2.1.210 made my sat useless.
Beta 2.2.1.204 has been stable for a week, no drops in wifi from router of sat, wireless backhaul.
Autoupdated from beta 2.2.1.204 to 2.2.1.210 via web gui, sat would not connect again. HW reset sat and removed sat from router web gui. Added sat again. All looked fine, no packet loss and backhaus status "good"
Lost wifi on sat 3 to 4 times pr. hour, router is still fine. Backhaul status is "poor" all the time, moving sat closer to router made no difference, backhaul will not connect via 5 Ghz and status is "poor"
Manual updated fw to 2.2.1.210 first on sat and the router. Factory reset and started over, all worked for 2 hours, backhaul 5 Ghz "good"
now sat loses connection to router 3 to 4 times pr. hour again. Wired backhaul is not an option for me and 2.2.1.204 was fine (the best to date)
Wifi on router is fine and has no drops but 2.2.1.210 made my sat useless.
Knock on wood. This one has worked flawlessly for the past 2 days.
No factory reset...
It was a bit wonky after install waiting for sats to come back online ...
But, so far it appears my problems have subsided.
