Hi

New to this, I have two questions

I have a system with 1 RBR50 and 3 RBS50.

Can I update one of the RBS's to Voxel fw and try it out, or must I update all units to Voxel FW, to make it work?

I have the latest stock FW, 2.7.5.4, should I still downgrade to 2.5.2.4 before installing Voxel FW?

Thanks!

You can update one of your RBSs leaving the other RBSs and RBR with stock firmware.

You must downgrade your selected unit to 2.5.2.4. It is recommended to disconnect the WAN port from the Internet during the downgrade procedure and upgrade to Voxel firmware, otherwise the device may automatically revert to the latest stock firmware.

Great, thanks for the info!

Any reason not to make such a change on an RBS50 that was originally an RBR50 but is now converted to RBS50?

Thanks Voxel for the great work! I am wondering if there are any chances we will see Voxel FW for Rbr10 and Rbs10?
