I was able to complete this successfully, and downgraded to a stable version firmware.
Here's what I did based on FURRYe38 suggestion, I set Orbi to AP mode first, then connected to a spare router that I have and blocked all ports for Orbi update service (updates.netgear.com or updates1.netgear.com). The auto upgrade finally stopped, everything is back to normal and I'm happy. Thanks everyone who offered to help!
Yes.
Only this version 2.7.3.22?

I think it not be greate to auto update the firmware
Auto update FW as been appart of Orbi since the beginning. Depends on regional location and serial number as well.
NG is aware of recent FW update issues.
If your system is just letting you know there is something available on the RBRs web page you can triggler the update your self or don't.
If your system does update FW, It's recommended to turn OFF the RBR, RBS and ISP modem/ONT for 1 minute then back on with the ISP modem/ont, then RBR then RBS. Check operation.
