Rbk50 blocking firmware update
Hi guys. Wondering if anyone can help. My system frequently reboots on the latest firmware. I went through and did the telnet steps to block the auto update. I downgraded the firmware and all was well...

Have you tried a manual FW load of the Orbi routers FW with the FW files, then factory reset and setup from scratch? YOu shouldn't need to block FW updates and other say that manually loading FW resolves reboots. IT shouldn't be rebooting randomly at all:
Try a Manual FW load:

I downgraded the firmware and all was well for about a week. Today it dropped connection again and yup, it auto updated the firmware to the latest. I don’t understand. In the the tutorial to block this, there is confirmation steps to check the values of lines which I did and all was well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
