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:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WIFI-6-AX-AND-Wi-Fi-6E-AXE/New-RBK653-Firmware-Version-4-6-14-3-Released/td-p/2283218/jump-to/first-unread-message

 

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:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WIFI-6-AX-AND-Wi-Fi-6E-AXE/New-RBR350-RBS350-Firmware-Version-4-4-1-29-Released/td-p/2247974/jump-to/first-unread-message

 

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!

      Ok, nice.!!

      But will it still be one network? It's not going to be two networks as the firmware is different on the different devices and since the satellites still are connected to the RBR350 AP, I mean won't the RBR750 be "stand alone" in its own wireless connection and the RBK350-kit be "stand alone" in its own network?

       

      I think I'm making this more advanced than it is in my head, sorry for the million questions.!🤔🙂

        No, will be two separate networks.
