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.
Good catch. Guess it is nice to know that even incompetent folks can have a job at Netgear. Not much attention to detail (sigh).
Good Luck with the correct files.
I see both files at all links and in all the right places. Not sure what you were not seeing. Seems like files are placed correctly.
I downloaded them myself
First this one:
Then, this one:
Just did it again to double check. Both "Download" boxes result in the same file being downloaded.
I see, the BLUE DOWNLOAD button is linked wrong for the RBS.
You can get the RBS from this link:

I'll notify NG about this
Could that be why my Satellites behave so strange? That I have installed the wrong firmware? Is it even possible to install Router firmware on the satellites?
Today my other satellite stopped working as expected. Seems like my Orbi try to send me between networks and as the Router is far away from where I have the problem I wonder if the signal goes like this:Satellite(error due to wrong firmware) after a couple of minutes - Send the computer to RBR with very limited coverage over wifi. Reconnect to Wifi when it finds signal - Back to Satellite that repeats the above after a couple of minutes?
edit: Login into the only Satellite I have left is says that the 2.4ghz part of the Wifi is disabled. Can it do that by itself? "Wireless AP: Off".
The RBS should not be accepting the RBR FW file if your manually applying anything.
I added a more direct link to the RBR and RBS files where you can download them individually.
If you have access to the RBS web pages, I recommend you re-apply the RBS firmware file to it's web page using MS Edge or Firefox browser.I would do this with the RBS near by or in same room as RBR. Once file is sent and RBS processes the file and reboots and is back to ready, power OFF the RBS and RBR for 1 minute, then back ON. Be sure the RBS come back to ready an BLUE is seen in front then should turn OFF. Check the RBS web page. You may need to factory reset and setup from scratch.
