RBK753 - Manual firmware update of multiple satellites

I understand that, when manually updating the firmware on an Orbi mesh system (AX4200), one is to update the satellites before updating the router.  However, if there are multiple satellites connected in a daisy chain, should the satellites be updated one at a time or should I select both satellites and update them together?  If one at a time, should the satellite nearest to the router or the most remote satellite be updated first?

One at a time. I would start with the farthest RBS then work your way to the closer RBS. You can have all the RBS web pages open in a browser and have the FW file staged and ready to send. Once you the the progress bar or circle after you hit send, you can go to the next RBS and send it's file. 

 

I recommend powering OFF all RBS and the RBR for 1 minute after the units have been upgraded. Then power ON The RBR first then start to power on the RBS in the chain staring with the closes RBS to the RBR and so on.
