I manually updated 2 x RBSE960 satellites and then the RBRE960 router to 7.2.6.21 via the webpage (Safari browser on a Mac) as directed in the user manual. All appears to have worked fine although I haven't spotted any changes in function.
This went much more smoothly than my last manual update to 6.3.7.10 when I needed to do factory resets of the entire system to get it to work.

Thank you for the post. I've been troubleshooting for about three hours. I had to revert back to the previous FW. My router and sats were not providing the right amount of wireless bandwidth throughput. I was getting less that 98Mbps to my samsung galaxy s22 ultra when connected to the 6E band. I will give it another go in the coming next couple days.

Successfully updated to Firmware Version - V7.2.6.21_5.0.20. I am getting the throughput I am expecting now. I think my mistake was updating the RBSE at the same time instead of doing them one at a time. RTFM!!

Be sure to always update the RBS first, then after they begin to blink an process the FW the RBS file you can then update and send the RBR FW.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
