    Thanks. Is it safe to revert from 2.3.1.44 back to 2.3.0.32 directly?

      Yes, it's safe to revert back to v32.

       

      To lock it down and prevent auto-update, you can follow this:

      >> This worked fine for me. As far as I can tell, once you update to .44 if you change those settings it will autoupgrade once (even if you're already on .44) and then not do it again.

        I’ll report back if it fixes my download speed. I thought it maybe the wifi but I connected my laptop to one of the ethernet ports on the main Orbi router and the download speed was similar to the wifi. It’s strange as I’ve had no real issues with previous firmware versions.
