Followed the directions and upgraded. Did the RBS750 units first and then the RBR750. Appears to be working well.

One important note, I did need to restart each RBS750 after the RBR750 was upgraded to re-establish connection. As each is on a UPS and mounted on the all, required a ladder.

Otherwise working fine at this time.

I didn't see the "IoT" network feature at first. You need to go into Wireless setup. You'll then see a "Wireless IoT Settings' and the ability to "enable" an IoT wireless SSID along with password.

Nice to have this feature added finally. I believe it's important to have a Trusted, IoT and Guest wireless SSID.

The error note sounds like you are using an incorrect version of the update files. So you unzipped the files and used the firmware version RBS for the satellite?

These are the files I have used. I re-downloaded them just to check, and no difference.

Getting really frustrated now. I have tried different browsers and still no change. It just doesn't want to do it!

Ran into the same problem but got around it by extracting the zip. Seems like you can’t use the .zip. Did you try extracting the zip file and uploading the .chk instead?

  I have tried both... Still no joy.
  Whats even more furstrating is that Netgear are so illusive.....
  All I can think if is that the file is corrupted or somehting is wrong with the satellite itself.

    Are you updating directly from the RBS admin interface or from the RBR?
    When I tried to update a RBK752 system from 4xxx to 7xxx I faced a problem with the RBR (i'm sorry not the satellite) where after clicking upload it always failed with an "error 500". I succeeded to update the RBR only after rebooting it.
