RBR50 hangs on 2.7.1.60 FW update
I just updated my RBS50 (satellite) from v2.5.2.4 to v2.7.1.60 just fine, but when I tried to do the same to the RBR50 router, it just continues to show the spinning hourglass, (for over an hour now).
How do I restore sanity, or is the router bricked?
I suppose I could do a factory reset. Or is there something simpler?
Thanks.
Mark

The something simpler was that I logged onto the RBR50 router over WiFi, saw that it claimed to be running v2.7.1.60, and rebooted the sucker.
So far, all appears well.
