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.

Further to my previous post.
I have just done a full factory reset on bith devices and still the manual firmware update fails, saying check file.
I do not want to try updating the router in case this works, then I am left with the inability to update the Satellite, which I need to access Wifi in the house.
Any ideason how to fix this gratefully received!
My prioducts went out of warranty 3 weeks ago, and actually getting to speak to support is impossible without generating a case number which of course I cannot do!!!!!
I will never buy Netgear stuff again, shocking support, but at £700 for the pair I need this sorting.

Be 100% certain you are using the correct file for your Satellites. The file should have a this name: RBS750-V7.2.6.21.chk. Additionally, try bringing the sat into the same room as your router or connect a laptop directly to the sat via Cat 6 ethernet cable and try the manual update again. Good Luck!

I have done all of that, and still no go! It appears not to recognise the file or load it properly.
Auto Update is enabled and I think it has tried to upgrade multiple times but failed every time; had to login to the wifi once every couple of days.
