Firmware 2.7.3.22, a poll
So I have an RBR40 with two RBS20 satellites and the 2.7.3.22 firmware just showed up in the app as an update. I’m currently on 2.6.2.104. I’ve seen some threads here with bricked main routers and ...
Don't do it. Seems like at least every other update causes me issues that are seemingly random. Right now, the network drops internet connection but still broadcasts network and connections appear to be ok. Already spent a week on it without issues. Last time it took me four months to solve a similar problems. Netgear!!!!!?????!!!!!!!

Now, you don't have a choice.
My RBR/RBS20 all silently updated without any notice at 2am. You can't stop it, which is very unfortunate.
I have the same problem.
