No problems to report, but I thought that people reading through the community posts might find it helpful to know that the Firmare Update to 2.3.0.28 can be done without issues.
My current setup consists of an RBR40, 2 x RBS20, 1 x RBW30.
I used the manual update process after first downloading and expanding the firmware appropriate to each device. First updated the RBW30, than the 2 RBS20s, and finally the RBR40. All satellites were able to synch again.
Glad it working well. Thanks for letting us know.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Modem is a Rogers branded Hitron.
Satellites are between 20 and 35 feet.
The RBW30 is kinda my “bonus” satellite. I could get by without it, but it gives me a slightly better connection in the bedroom.
Its a a bit overkill for the size of my condo, but the condo is two floors, with rebar concrete floor, and steel studs in the walls.
In retrospect the RBK50 would have made more sense, but I’m not ready to spend that much money all over again, for no performance gain.
Ok. Hopefully will work well. Keep the distances at 30 feet. The RBR can cover a good range.
