Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Sorry for all the questions but it's getting closer to change my system now and wondering if there is a guide on how and in which order I shall install the new system.
So I'm going to replace my rbr350 router with an rbr750 router and use my rbr350-router as an AP, and that my current satellites will continue to be used, I know which FW I'm going to use, but does the FW have to be installed on the AP as well or does it follow the new router's settings?

If your going to connect a 750 series RBR and have the 350 RBS connect to it, then you'll need to keep with the following version of FW on the 750 and the 350 units:
If your going to migrate the 350 RBS with the RBR350 then you'll need to keep with the 350 series FW for that system while in AP mode:
Then you can update the RBR750 to v7 FW if you don't have any plans on connecting the 350 series RBS:

Ok, do I understand you correct now? 😇
Can I continue to have the satellites wireless linked to the RBR350-router even though I turn it into an AP as long as the RBR350-router are wired as an AP to my new RBR750 router?
And do I continue to use the same FW-version that I have now on my RBK353-kit (RBR350 FW version: v4.4.1.29_3.10.80 and RBS350 FW version: v4.4.1.29) and at the same time use the latest FW-version on my new RBR750-router? (FW-version 7.2.6.21)
WOW, how little I understand of this, is much more to think about than I thought from the beginning.! 😅
Cheers!
