Firmware auto-updated on my Orbi - is that expected?
I woke up this morning and logged into Orbi (since I've been having connectivity issues for a while) and I noticed the FW was upgraded to 1.10.1.2 or something. I KNOW I was on 1.9 before and never p...
Yep, Orbi isn't the kind of device that is for ultimate control. It's for set and forget type use. Part of it, is receiving new Firmware without intervention.
I just contacted the support on this because the update really messed up my system. She recommended doing a factory reset (30 seconds on the reset button followed by 10 seconds unplugged), which I did and this have maybe started to act OK again. I also asked how to avoid these auto updates and the answer is, "Regarding the automatic update, only the Firmware Version 1.2.0.6 does not push an automatic update."
So enjoy the push updates.
