Flash RBR50 to RBS50
Hi
I have a RBK50 system, one RBR50 router and one RBS50 satellite.
I have another RBR50 router which I cannot use but I could use another RBS50 satellite.
Can I flash the RBR50 to use as a RBS50?
Any issues with this?
Thank you in advance
I've never done it so I can't tell you if it can/can't be reversed.
I do know you definitely stand a chance of bricking the device.

its not as simple as just "flashing" the rbr50 with the rbs firmware. it can be done but you won't find it on the offical forums.
I'd search google for something along the lines of: convert rbr50 to rbs50
- Thank you plemans, very helpful!
I read somewhere that the process can't be reversed. Is that right or can I go back and reinstall the router firmware?
Am I taking the risk of "bricking" the router?
