For those that have tried to block downloads.netgear.com and have seen their Orbi auto-update again (like me), I have included some other domains to block that seem to have stopped them on my unit. They are the top 10 domains my satelite has tried to contact, in order, from most to least contacted. Adding them to my main router's blacklist appears to have made the firmware update server unreachable.
- www.netgear.com
- updates1.netgear.com
- ftp.updates1.netgear.com.edgesuite.net
- 472263.ftp.download.akadns.net
- A1599ER83NVYL8.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
- http.fw.updates1.netgear.com
- http.fw.updates1.netgear.com.edgekey.net
- e70.g.akamaiedge.net
I will report back if blocking these domains has stopped the auto-upgrade madness. I had previously blocked downloads.netgear.com and set the appropriate nvram options, and still had my unit upgrade itself after a few days. Hope this helps!
