My update experience, in case it helps anyone...
Yesterday I was on 4.6.3.16. Checking for firmware updates in either the app or the web UI said there were no updates, even though I had received an email from Netgear telling me there was a new release. I also checked the support pages and could see there was for sure a new release. So I downloaded the files for 4.6.7.13 yesterday from the Netgear site, and manually applied it to 2 satellites and the router today. Cool. After they all rebooted, loaded the main router web UI again, and this time it tells me there's a new firmware update. Wait, they released a new one overnight? Oh, yes, they really did. What luck!
This time, it did detect the update, and gave me the "update all" button in the UI. I hit it. I could see all devices rebooted based on their LEDs. The UI sure made it look like it was updating everything. But the firmware only actually applied itself to the router, not either of the satellites. I downloaded the 4.6.8.2 satellite firmware from the Netgear site, browsed to the web UI of each satellite and updated the firmware that way, and all is up-to-date now. Not as slick as it should have been, but not too hard to deal with.
