Fix what?
If you turn off auto update then you're happy. No problems. So what are you fixing? Older FW would fall under roll-back which I beleive is already available. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I believe what they're saying is they'd like to turn off auto-update such that they can install older firmware...and have it stay that way until a time of their choosing.
Short of cutting off access to Netgear's firmware servers, you can roll back to older firmware, but you can't prevent it rolling forward ten minutes later.
