Its absolutely a 600 euros scam! I agree with you.
I spent days trying to fix it but what Ive done now is to downgrade to the v3 firmware and everything is back to normal. I recommend doing that l, it wasnt easy at all but seems to be working fine now.
I followed these instructions:
1. Downgrade the Firmware to V3.2.10.10 for both Router and the Satellite, which is the very first Firmware version. Using the way I mentioned in previous thread that pressing F12 in the downgrade page and unhide the Yes button.
This Firmware version has Telnet option on Debug page. 2. After that, perform factory reset on both Router and the Satellite. 3. Finish basic configuration, but DO NOT connect to internet yet. 4. Enable Telnet option on both Router and the Satellite in their Debug.html page. 5. Telnet connect to both devices, and ran the following: nvram set auto_upgrade_enable=0 nvram set ver_check_https_svr1=http.fw.updates1.aaa.com nvram set ver_check_ftp_svr1=updates1.aaa.com nvram set ver_check_ftp_svr2=updates1.aaa.com nvram set ver_check_ftp_svr3=updates1.aaa.com nvram set lang_check_ftp_svr=updates1.aaa.com nvram set install_fw_upgrade_latest=0 nvram set ver_check_enable=0 nvram set ver_check_ftp_password=aaa@aaa nvram set control_cloud_backend_fw_url=https://http.fw.updates1.aaa.com nvram set promotion_server=updates1.aaa.com nvram commit
6. Make sure the above run on both devices. 7. Go to Managment page -> Advanced -> Security -> Block Sites : a. Keyword Block set to "Always"
b. Add the following key words: http.fw.updates1.netgear.com
updates1.netgear.com
c. Click Apply.
8. Perform a Soft reboot from Advanced Home : -> Reboot -> Connect back to the Internet.
9. After that, my firmware update page showing this:
Status:
Router RBR750 RBR750 V3.2.10.10 Service unreachable Satellite RBS750 Orbi Satellite-1 V3.2.10.10 Service unreachable
10, I will monitor for a day or so to see if this works.

Thanks for the guide on downgrading back to v3. I'll also give it a try.
For anyone in this thread who is defending NG, shame on you. How can you honestly defend a billion dollar company that is signing borked firmware updates and not even acknowledging any user issues? This is a shambles, and they should offer an easy way to downgrade without having to bloody telnet in.
What a disgrace.
