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...
Wow Crimpon,
Thank you for your long reply I read through all of it and the telnet did not work for me before for a moment and then somewhow it grabs the update. I have done the DNS service, that worked as a charm the router and satelites report now service unreachable. Am now in the process of downgrading the satelites one by one the router is already on 104...I always have a Intel NUC on at home am running the DNS IP update there since my IP is dynamic although that is the only downside to the method this is the cleanest...thank you so much now I love Orbi again...

Glad your system is stable.
There were other telnet hacks to prevent updates by setting some variables. I found changing firmware_version to be solid as long as the router does not reboot.
