The only thing recommended after the system was updated would have been powering OFF the RBS and RBR for one minute then back ON. Then observe. If problems were seen then a factory reset and setup from scratch would have been next step.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Help!!!! this firmware update i am having some problem with.
I thought it was all going pretty straight forward, updated the satellites and then the router.
restart the router, got the white flashing light and then it went out, no blue light.
reset the router to factory settings and now it just flashs white light and then a fixed white light.
I tried putting an ethernet cable into the router to get back in to see what was up, but with no luck.
i have done all the usual stuff, restart the modem etc.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I like to leave the update of my router to itself: when it informs me that there is an update. Strangely, for this update it still tells me that there is no new version of router firmware. Is it normal that for a such a long period of time, the servers for Europe - or where ever they really are - (I am living in Austria) are not making this update available for the users ?
