Router Updated to 7.2, Satellite not
I updated my Orbi RBR750 to 7.2.6.21_5.0.20 manually after downloading ZIP. When I tried to update the satellite, it asks me to sign in and when I put in the admin credentials, the same screen keeps ...
You sure you tried admin and "password"
Sounds like the RBS hasn't fully sync with the RBRs log in info which it should.
Couple of options,
Remove the RBS by factory resetting the RBS, then remove it from the RBRs web page. Select Generate for new backhaul password under advanced tab/advaced/wireless settings. Then try a re-sync with the RBS and RBRs add satellite feature.
Downgrade the RBR back to last v4 version of FW and see if the RBS will sync and you can log in long enough to send the v7 RBS FW file.
Or try the mentioned factory reset on the RBS with a wired PC connected to the back. Might turn OFF the RBR during this as to make sure the RBS doesn't connect.
Yes, I tried the username and password I use to login to the router. The RBS does appear on the router's page and works properly.

You are a genius...option 1 worked and I upgraded the firmware for both. Working great.
Now...how do I utilize the two new features I am interested in...ioT and I think a way to have hybrid WPA2 and 3 at same time?
Well, my goodness. One would have hoped that Netgear would update the RBR750 User Manual to explain about how to set up the IoT network. (sigh)
On the Orbi web interface, navigate to the Basic Tab, Wireless menu, and scroll down to the IoT section.
Security options are on the same page.
Great to hear glad you got it updated.

Thanks again...I am sure I will be able to activate these functions. My question is more along the lines of SHOULD I activate them.
For ioT: How fast is that connection? What type of things should I put on that network (I assume thermostats...how about a TV or printer)
For the Security Protocol: Is it really that much more secure? How are reports of it in the field? If I turn it on, will all my devices still connect or could there be problems with legacy devices? If so, what do I do?
Thats up to you. You'll need to figure out your needs and such.
Being IoT and IoT generally don't need 1Gb speeds, I would presume wifi performances are best suited for IoT devices on the IoT network.
