EVERYTHING is broken after V2.1.1.12
I am seriously ticked at Netgear. This update has broken everything, we tried to play a local lan game last night and EVERYONE kept disconnecting. My sattelites are all disappering, and not showing...
Hello netgearguy
That is correct orbi will auto update to the latest version.

DarrenM - thanks for confirming how things work now.
Does Netgear believe that this is an issue that requires addressing, or is the intent to never allow any ability to block or reverse FW updates, even in an Advanced or Expert mode?
I understand if Netgear is concerned about customers being exposed to security risks and bugs w/older FW, and there are difficulties supporting multple versions (I work for a large consumer tech company so I get that). However, the inability to block (or at least reverse) a FW update is a definte Con in my Pro/Con for Orbi, and will influence my (and others likely) decision about keeping or returning mine, recommending it to family and friends, etc.
- It's a nightmare situation.
I am going on holiday in the next few weeks and I have a relatively stable setup.
The last thing I need is an auto FW update.
