Hi,

thanks for the input, I was not aware that if you manually update, you need to be sure to update the RBS first, then RBR lastly.

Will try.

Thanks

Peter

    Hi,

     

    updated one of the 3 RBS750's, this resulted that I couldn't connect any longer with the RBR750 although the blue light indicated connected and in sync. Tried wireless and with cable. The RBR router didn't see or detected the RBS. So, after 2 hours of frustration, I downgraded to the previous firmware V4.6.5.14 and got connected instantly.

    My advice, never change a stable running system.

     

    Regards

    Peter

      If you had all web pages open for the RBS and RBR and had them all stages to load the FW file, you should have updated each RBS first, then after you sent the last file to the last RBS, you should have then sent the RBR FW file on it's web page. if you were ethernet connected to the RBR, you would have had connection it it's web page. If you were not connected to the RBR via ethernet in the first place, then you may have been connected wirelessly to an RBS then after they were updated, lost connection to the RBR. Always be ethernet connected to the RBR with a wired PC to update FW. You can access the RBSs web pages thru the RBR. 

       

      Yes if your not having any problems, you don't have to update.
