Multiple configuration updates (Flashing white lights) per day
I am a work at home and gamer... My orbi FREQUENTLY updates (flashing white lights). I would say once every 2 days or so and sometimes more freqently. The updates also happen at the worst times.. Like being on important conferences call or critical juctions during gaming. Because there isn't a way to disable auto-updates, nor is there a way to set an update/maintiance window, orbi continues to kick me off whenever it feels like it. This is beyond frustrating and I'm either going to find a solve, or purchase a different product, plus leave MULTIPLE warnings to future users that it is not the solution that they are looking for.
I am running V2.7.0.70.. I've also run V2.5.2.4.. I'm seriously at a loss here. I've seen some post stating that they will allow users to disable auto-updates, but I've yet to find this option (I don't think it exists).

Has a power off for 1 minute then back on been performed since last update?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
