Any way to STOP auto update?

I think an option for automatic updates is certainly nice to have.  However, there appears to be no way on the Orbi to turn this OFF... I'm trying to narrow down a problem by rolling back to a previous version, and the Orbi always immediately downloads and installs the latest.

    Hi,

     

    an interesting question.... a Netgear admin will certainly reply to you...

     

    I just checked via telnet the nvram entries and values and found columns showing following entries (command in terminal: nvram show "and enter")

     

    auto_update=1

    or

    auto_check_for_upgrade=1

     

     

    There is an easy way to change this values to "0", but Netgear should confirm that one of this entries (or another) is the modification/nvram update you need to change for your purpose - or you try by your own...

     

    Best regards from a happy German user....
