Hi,

Thank you for this information,

I have RBK857 system - RBR850 with six RBS850

Can I / should I update all satellites at the same time or is it one by one?

When I read 'how to update' it seems to assume one RBS unit.

Then update the RBR unit.

Thank you for your assistance,

Andy.

I upgraded manually. First sat1, then sat2 and lastly router. Then finally a power off on all 3 units and my Internet box. Then I switched on all units one after one. Starting with Internet box, router and lastly sattelites. No problems so far, everything went flawless.

Make sure you make a new backup config to file for safe keeping.

I can echo what FURRYe38 said. I have updated multiple satellites at the same time, then gone back and updated the router once the satellites have fully updated and reset.

Go to each satellite's admin page via their IP address - each in a different window/tab.

It definitely saves lots of time.
