Owner of RBK853 (1x RBR850 + 2 RBS850)
After doing the automatic (online) upgrade system got unstable, kept going offline. I then powered off the router and satttelites, after it stayed good for a little while. But then wifi degration of speed and outages.
I finally managed to downgrade the router RBR850 to v4.6.3.9. That seemed to perform well and remained stable.
After attaching the sattelites - still at v4.6.3.16 - everything still seems to be OK for now running 12 hours ok .
Not a really nice experience, got me stressed out for a while - I am counting on this product to be stable especially considering its price. Very hesistant to perform an upgrade in the future.
small update from my site.
After a few days the RBR850 did upgrade by itself from 4.6.3.9 to 4.6.3.16. At that specific time of the upgrade experienced a short outage, which is to be expected.
I noticed thereafter that it did not see my backhaul connections correct, I have 1 wired and 1 wireless, but they appeared both wireless. I then shut down both sattelites (RBS850) for a while to restart them. After which they came up. Again some switching between determination if it was wired or wireless (it even thought my wireless sattelite was wired) but after some minutes it stabilized to the correct setup.
The wireless sattelite (+/- 30ft from router and +/- 15 feet from wired sattelite) gives pour backhoul. Don't know how to fix that. For the rest it seems reasonably stable ... for now...
My Router (with one Satellite) updated over night by itself. I thought that the update is only possible if I manually confirm that, but I was obviously wrong. So I was rather shocked when I saw the V4 in router app. I am working from home and I need very good internet connection.
So I started to check my network and ... everything is working fine ! Satellite is connected via WLAN, it is working stable and there is no loss in speed. All units are connected as it was the case before. The only thing that changed is that my defined static addresses disappeared and now I have to add them again manually (I am not sure how I did that - I have to look into documentation). And yes - the problem with ghost units presented in a mapping app disappeared - now it is showing the right configuration.
So at least one positive report ... or maybe I was lucky ... who knows ...
- Getting those blasted dns issues again after this update. Going to attempt to downgrade
