OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
How about you give us the option to turn OFF AUTOUPDATE. Or STOP automatic updates all together! When you guys roll out the updates FORCED Orbi resets and looses all my settings and takes down my internet and home security system as I’m not home. That’s a fantastic feature! SO sick of this POS not working reliability.
This is the exact reason I am going to return the RBK53 kit I bought from costco. Insane not to give the user the option to choose whether to do firmware update!
Orbi team, please add this option now!!!!

I followed the instructions here and my Orbi's have not auto-updated to 2.1.4. After months of non-stop issues, my base and satellites are mostly working now. I'll never take another update if I can prevent it. Netgear has proven they don't have the discipline to push firmware automatically.
