I manually updated 2 x RBSE960 satellites and then the RBRE960 router to 7.2.6.21 via the webpage (Safari browser on a Mac) as directed in the user manual. All appears to have worked fine although I haven't spotted any changes in function.
This went much more smoothly than my last manual update to 6.3.7.10 when I needed to do factory resets of the entire system to get it to work.
For any continued SPC issues, please post here if you need too:

Good Luck.
I notice that the RBKE963 downloads page has removed the 7.2.6.21 firmware for the RBRE960 router: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbke963b#download. It now lists 6.3.7.10.
The RBSE960 satellite download link is still for 7.2.6.21.
Is the 7.2.6.21 firmware being recalled?
Though initial link is still seen under Top Support Articles. But it only shows the RBS as well. Will check on this.
NG has pulled the RBR FW due to some regional issue in the FW that NG is currently investigating. I don't think this is a operational issue that effects normal system operation. USA region isn't effected. I'll post if and when I know more.
Ok, v.21 RBR FW will get reposted soon. There is a EU regulatory regional issue with this version of FW. NG will be putting forth a follow on FW version that resolves this EU regulatory regional issue soon. This only effects the EU region.
Orbi 960 series users located in the EU Region will be directed to update there 960 series systems to the follow on FW version when it becomes available.
All other regions can continue to use v.21.
