New firmware so much better (1.4.0.34)
Just wanted to let you guys / others know that the latest firmware (34) has solved so many of my problems. I no longer seem to get connection drops on my Apple products (my MacBook Air would lose the...
Do updates need to be applied sequentially or can I just skip to the latest?

You do not have to update sequentially. You can skip any intermediate ones and go to the latest.
Please remember to update your satellite(s) first, then your router. And do not try and do them at the same exact time.

That part is very important. It would also be a lot easier if Netgear replaced the single "Update All" button with individual Update buttons next to each unit in the network. Most users are just going to click the Update All shotgun button.
Hi,
just recognized that the procedure you described is mentioned by Netgear as well. Why they incorporated an update all button
is then a secret which only Netgear knows...*facepalm*

What if users HAVE updated both at the same time?
Do we need to reset the system or anything else to do?
An answer from Netgear support / mods would be very helpful.
