No - this is called a DEFECT. Software should be able to determine and parse older config files and correctly use them to update the current configuration. Anything less is laziness on the engineering team.
Posting to update that speed IS NOT capped on the CBK40 system using current FW builds of this date.
These results are with a Mac Book Pro ethernet connected behind a RBS20 v2.7.3.22 that is wirelessly connected to the CBR40 running v2.3.5.12. The system was factory reset and setup from scratch. NO saved backup configurations applied:
Saw no limiting or capping while connected at the RBS20. RBS and CBR40 ran well. I even connected my xbox to the RBS and gamed a couple of night. Saw no issues here.
If the user is using old configuration from prior version of FW, then there could be a problem with using older backups with newer versions of FW. Something NG will have to look into.
To resolve the users current problem, a factory reset and setup from scratch WITHOUT using ANY prior saved backup configurations from file will need to be performed then a NEW backup configuration created on this version of FW. Factory resets are a typical and general troubleshooting step which does help resolve these problems. Something I've seen many times.
The CBK40 system is not defective.
