Thank you rhester72.
Are you saying if I plug it in, then let it grind away for (upto) 5 minutes. It should come right? or will it randomly drop out again?
On paper, yes, though I have seen a few cases of other upstream (wired) devices echoing/magnifying the packet storm such that it can never recover. *Most* people are fine if they just literally leave it be for 3-5 minutes.
Waited till RBS50Y variant of this firmware was released to update all of them. This is the first time all units have been on the exact same level of firmware in a long time (RBS50Y was always a bit different/behind). I have daisy chain enabled and using it for one satellite. I updated that satellite first, then the other two satellites that talk direct to router, then the router. All devices came back up and all clients that autoconnect were reconnected within 8 minutes of start of update of the router.
The only issue I have outstanding and its been around since the beginning on the RBS50Y, is that I cannot assign a DHCP reservation for the RBS50Y (I prefer to assign IPs for the Network equipment, Network Printers, etc). When trying from the webpage for doing so, I always get a error of " 400 Bad Request This server does not support the operation requested by your client." The only drawback is that I don't always know the internal IP of the RBS50Y, but it only seems to change addresses when updates happen.
Where did you find firmware for the RBS50Y that is not v2.1.3.4? My RBR50+RBS50 units auto-updated to 2.1.4.16 today (where on 2.1.4.10) but the RBS50Y's have been stuck on 2.1.3.4 for awhile now.
FW v2.1.4.16 for the RBS50Y is on the first post on page 1 of this topic. Follwing is a link
Thanks, didn't see the first page.... so was able to download the firmware for the RBS50Y, however... I can't seem to get it to update... when I click the update button it opens another window, but that errors out unable to connect. So my RBR50 and RBS50's are all on 2.1.4.16 but the 2 RBS50Y's are stuck on 2.1.3.4 Anyone have any clue how to actually get them updated... the manual update process doesn't seem to let me connect to them to update.
