New Orbi firmware 2.1.2.18 update issues?

Just a quick note.  I have always found it to my advantage never to have auto-update enable.  This way I can control the version on the router and analyze postings of other folks experiences with new firmware updates.  Once I feel that there is a reasonable chance of success with an update, I will then invoke it manually.  I know this can be a little more labor, but I would would rather have they ability to upgrade if I choose rather than have the unit do it for me automatically.  I have found this to work out better for me, so I'm just passing it on.
