Disabling Auto Update (Force Update) firmware version 2.7.3.22 for Orbi 3000 (RBR, RBS and RBK 50)
Hi, It seems like Netgear now forces a new EULA requiring Auto Firmware Upgrade for all Orbi Routers, unfortunately for our RBR/S/K 50, the new 2.7.3.22 is buggy, and sometimes drop connections b...
And by the way, do above steps on every devices (routers and satellites too).
Remember after enable root, you can telnet using 'root' account without password. Highly advice, to change the root password immediately. Also once you are done, please ensure you disable the telnet access.
Hopefully this works, any ideas, please let me know.
I believe telnet is not supported on v22 FW, you'll need to go back to v104 to get telnet then make changes to block FW updates.
Has a factory reset and set up from scratch after last FW update?
I didn't do factory reset, but i did backup and restore....
I had to cold reboot, as it wouldn't pickup DHCP from the ISP until i did that....
The EULA has new wording where it required Auto Update
Might try a factory reset next time you update FW IF a problem appears after FW is updated. Seen odd things after a FW update and sometimes, just a reset and setup from scratch is needed.
Good luck.
Btw, Netgear figured out a way to override my changes, and this morning it came back forced upgraded to 2.7.3.22 again....
The real problem is a random drop connection during heavy load, anywhere from few seconds to a minute or so.
Is there anyways to schedule a reboot via cronjob or something on downtime (like Friday Midnight or something) ?
Try putting on a power plug with a timer built in that offers scheduling.
