Auto update feature disable
I have invested 1400 Euros in this system but what Netgear does to disable you from stopping auto updates is just criminal, first it's gone from the UI, then telnet was removed and now it's impossibl...

Nice summary! I would suggest listing the OpenDNS option first since it seems the most attractive - It is free, works with all Orbis (even those without telnet), and has well-defined steps that do not vary by hardware (like adding another router).
Good suggestion.
This firmware update situation is really frustrating. The #1 security practice is to keep software updated, so customers are forced to choose between a stable network or security. And these issues do not affect every customer. (My Orbi has never done any of the crazy things I see people post about.) If every Orbi failed the same way, the problem would get priority.
