Have you tried a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch to see if this helps any? Press the button in back for 15 seconds then walk thru the setup wizard. Something to try as last resort. v60 would have been auto updated to v30. v38 was made available how ever it was given up to the users to update to it or not. Just seen in the UI as something available.
