I just wanted to report back. Everything went well. Steps taken were as follows (to help myself in the future, if needed):
- Disconnected the router base from my modem so that it had no internet so that the router base wouldn't automatically update itself while I'm trying to update the satellites first.
- Over wifi, logged in to the router and manually downgraded the firmware of the router directly from 2.3.1.44 to 2.2.1.210.
- Had to unplug and replug in the satellites to their electrical outlets to get them to change from "Waiting for connection" to "No internet" so that I could update their firmwares.
- Updated the firmwares of the satellites (one at a time for my own feeling of comfort) directly from 2.2.1.204 to 2.3.0.4.
- Updated the firmware of the router base directly from 2.2.1.210 to 2.3.1.58.
- Plugged the router base back into the modem.
Internet is up and running and statuses are good on all 3 devices.
Thanks for the help, Furry!
