I'm a bit of an early adopter and have an RBR750 w/2 RBS750 satellites in each of 2 houses.
Tonight I used the auto-update feature through the web interface for one (on a MacBook Pro) and the iPhone App for the other.
Both updates worked without error, and both systems have been working well since. And all labels are accurate, a bonus!
I might suggest patience during auto or manual (done previously) installs. It's not snappy and takes a bit.
Thanks also to FURRYe38 for much patience and perseverance.
Glad yours is working. Ya, auto updater seems to be a mixed bag sometimes, works for some, doesnt' for others. Patience is needed. I remember working on my friends Orbi 50 series years ago. Man, it took hours to get it updated and finally online. Orbi AX is a bit faster however, patience is still needed.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Wow, years ago with the older model? That's not good. Netgear needs to fix its internal auto updater.
- Well after tinkering all day I proved that my setup works with the RBR on the latest firmware and the RBS left one behind. If the RBS is upgraded to latest firmware it is unstable.
Now my devices aren't bricked. But this is still pretty lame. And I'm left with the original problem where backhaul hops from 5 to 2.4G and makes the connection unstable, and laptop hops to much further away RBR rather than stay with nearby RBS.
The algorithms clearly do not weight stability high enough IMOWhy I recommend manually updating FW if the auto updater failed to update all units or problems are seen.
