Hi, schumaku, thank you for trying to help.
The links you provided are for the firmware versions currently installed — and were released in December 2022 (a long time ago). The current firmware for the RBR750 is 7.2.6.31 (released on April 10), which would be what I would like to use if Netgear had provided that update for the RBS350’s that came with my RBR750. Without the corresponding 7.2.6.31 for the satellites, the 7.2.6.31 update for the router should not be used. That is precisely what you posted — and precisely the problem I am asking about.
I wish it was that easy, but clearly it is not.
