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.

what firmware version is the current one on your RBR and RBS?
I have an RBK753 system, updated both satellites and router without any issues. First updated satellites by logging into each satellite’s web interface, then updated the router. But it took a while for the satellites to show the updated firmware version in the web interface, the old version was displayed even after a reboot. But eventually it got refreshed.
I've seen some devices like my Google home hub and a smart things hub which are near one of the satellites loosing connection to the internet. My smartphone also switched to 5G a couple of times and showed “connected no internet” for WiFi. I’ve rebooted the router and satellites few times. Right now one of the satellite’s backhaul status shows “out of sync” but I can still log into it via IP. BTW both satellites are wired. Not a good start for the upgrade, but then again most Netgear Orbi updates were like that.
Its quite late over here, will continue testing tomorrow.
