UK/US Compatability RBS50

Hi all, does anyone know if a UK RBS50 woud connect and be compatible with a US RBR50 and RBS50?

I recently returned to the UK after living in the USA where I purchased and RBR50/RBS50.

I would like to add an extra RBS50 satellite to my system, but wasn;t sure if there would be any connectivity issues.

 

The old system is working flawlessly in my new home here, despite the firmward seemingly "locked" to a US region.

 

Any advice/perspectives would be appreciated.

 

James.

Don't know for sure. In most cases I presume they should IF the firmware loaded on the RBS is the same as loaded on the host RBR...Can't say much more than this...

Will work.  By the way, there are some differences in WiFi regulations which make it a good idea to change the Region setting.

Here is a post about how to do that:
