I have an existing RBK50 setup with 2 RBS50 satellites connecting via wireless to the RBR50, this setup is working great, but because of working from home, i've had to set up a home office in the bas...

i did the update through the web UI - everything i read about ethernet backhaul had said "make sure you are on the latest firmware" - of course, those posts were written before 2.5.1.8 was out.
Without ethernet backhaul, 2.5.1.8 seems to be working OK so far... i don't have any of the spurious reboot issues i've read. Which is why i didn't understand the hate (and still don't)

Hate???...I don't think folks hate 2.5.1.8 , just not pleased. If you do a search (and perhaps you already have) you will read some of the problems with 2.5.1.8 .
FYI....if you're system is working, it's always best to leave it alone. NG will push critical updates to automatically with no action on your part. I've been on the same firmware since October 2019 and have no desire to manually update.
