Downgraded to v4.6.5.14, daisy chaining is now working as before at previous high speeds.

IMHO there is something wrong with the daisy chain logic in this latest firmware. Chose to downgrade to V4.6.5.14 instead of V4.6.8.2 because I didn't want to reset everything and start over, luckily the downgrade went without a hitch. Went in the reverse order when downgrading: satellites first, then the router.

Something is definitely wrong with this version. I get at least 100mbps less speeds than previous versions. May be the problem started in 4.6.8.2 I can't say.

    4.6.8.5 continues to work very well for me with my RBK753 setup.  I am however also using the email logging setup as recommended.    Stability has been spot on for several weeks now.

      Same here.  Stable.

       

      Constant email logs are annoying - I hope they fix that soon.  Any idea why a device is doing this?  Could it be the VPN software attempting to connect?

        Whats the device at .20 address? 

        Issue is not VPN.

        You can do this, if you enable email logging then disable it. The RBR should continue to run fine. Only if you factory reset and setup from scratch and if you don't re-enable email logging, will the problems re-appear. Mysterious reboots. 

         

        I ran my 8 series for 3 days with email enabled, ran fine, then disabled email logging. Ran fine. Factory reset and didn't setup email logging and issue re-appeared .

      Is your RBS in star or Daisy Chain configuration? Just curious. 

      Thanks for letting us know how yours is running. Ya we hope NG will fix this odd logging and stability issue.
