Mixed Network of RBR50, RBS50 and RBS20 Best firmware

I have a Mixed Network of RBR50, RBS50 and RBS20. I have had issues in the past with mixed firmware levels. The current firmware for the 50s is 2.7.2.104, but there is no corresponding firmware versions for the 20. If I go back to the 2.6.1 branch there is a 2.6.1.40 for the 50s and a 2.6.1.104 (Which is the highest version available) for the 20. At least the 2.6.1 version is within the same major version for all devices. Would I be better with the 2.6.1 branch or mixed with the 2.7.2 branch

Re: Mixed Network of RBR50, RBS50 and RBS20 Best firmware

I've got an RBR50, RBS50, RBS20 and a RBW30.  I stopped upgrading after 2.3.5.30 (2.3.5.6_1.0.8 on the wall plug) because that was the last decent codebase.  I rebooted my router this morning after about a year and now i'm getting prompted to upgrade but I will not.

That is what I ended up doing as well, and it seems to be stable. I will update if issues arise. 

 

Thanks

Be sure to make a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Helps save time if a reset is needed.
