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.
Unfortunately, I loaded the new FW on the router first. I tried to manually load the new FW on the satellites but it kept failing..check the file and try again. I've rebooted the router and satellites to no avail. Do I have to perform a factory reset?
Can you downgrand the RBR back to prior v4 version then let the RBS sync then try to manually update them FIRST with the RBS v7 FW file? Be sure your using the RBS FW file to update the RBS. Be sure to unpack the .zip file to revieal the .CHK file to load thru the RBS web page. Do not try to open this file.

- Should I hardwire my computer to the router install the software, or would I hardwire to the satellite?
You can hardwire to the router then connect to the RBS web page to send the the file there.
