Thank you FURRYe38, that is exactly what i did the last two tries. I will try again and report back once i found the time to do so.
Just a quick update. Today, i installed v7.2.6.31. Satellites one after another, then finally the router. Manually because i couldn’t update automatically via the web UI from latest v4. Everything went flawlessly. Even without pulling the plug on the devices or resetting to factory defaults. The network is up and running. In addition I activated the IoT network. It feels snappier than before.
What didn’t work was to switch both main WiFi and guest WiFi from WPA2 to WPA2+WPA3. For example, my iPhone failed to connect to the main network. Even forgetting and reconnecting to the network entering the password again did not work. Network was totally unstable. Back to WPA2 and both networks work fine again.

What iphone model and iOS do you have?

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/NETGEAR-Mobile-Applications-and-Apple-Devices-FAQ/td-p/2220016/jump-to/first-unread-message- I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 17.5 installed. MAC address randomization is turned off. Only thing that is enabled is „disable IP tracking“.
I'm still back on iOS 16.5 on my 12 Pro Max. WiFi Protected Address is disabled. Last time I had my 850 series online with v.31 FW it connected fine with mixed mode. Possible iOS issue.
Might try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch and see. Set Mixed mode with a simple SSID name and password first. Something that the phone hasn't used or seen before.
