Ensure FW is the same version between the RBR and RBS

"Ensure FW is the same version between the RBR and RBS."

Excuse the late reply, but this discussion was the most relevant to my case with CBR and RBS.

I was having troubles getting the RBS750 satellite to acquire the updated SSID from its CBR750 hub, and I only succeeded after I downgraded the RBS750 firmware to roughly the same version as the CBR750.

Now both CBR and RBS have v4 firmware, and they both advertise the same SSID.

  Thanks for the relevant links!
  I guess the gist of my message is that for CBK752, don't install v7 firmware on RBS750 even though it is available.
  At this time, latest FW for CBK75x is v4.

    I've asked about v7 FW coming to the CBR. NG doesn't know right now. There maybe some compatibility issues from what I've been told. They are aware of it.
