Is there any kind of manual overide we can do to get site-to-site for the BR500's to connect?

I have an entire company of 300+ employees unable able to work today becuase of this.

Agreed! There needs to be accountability and a Quality Control group at a large company like Netgear getting on top of all of these issues. Management should "Start their engines" _ Start having meetings with you engineering groups, quality control and development groups so you can better serve your customers--your a public company on NYSE and should hear your customers because we paid for your products and services.
