WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

Yes, I know how to do the update but you're saying "yes", the fact that the router is already on this FM will cause issues if I update the RBS to the same FM?? So how do I do this without causing issues? I'm confused.

Trust me when I say this - if you can return your package, you need to. If not, and don't have a backup system, get one or even better - a complete replacement from another manufacturer.
From what has been posted on the community, seems the router has issues when upgraded that impacts the satellites. Could be the satellites also have issues with the firmware but when the router (RBR) is in AP mode, some are having a better experience. It's all hit or miss. Hence - advice to return and never look back.
If you continue trying to listen to Furry, you're just in for a lot of frustration. He's not a Netgear employee, nor does it seem he has any connetions there. As someone who is intimatly involved in managing network staff at an enterprise level, I also question his experience troubleshooting wifi/network connectivity.
