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

recommendation.
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.

I expect the recommendation for one-at-a-time is so that if something goes wrong with a satellite, your primary router is still working and you can debug a single problem at a time.
