That doesn't work anymore, my router updated last night after I did that yesterday to downgrade back to 2.1.4.16. Now those settings are still set to 0 but everytime I load the older firmware it autoupdates to the latest within 1 minute.

So after confirming all my settings in the telnet session for the Orbi were correctly set to 0, I also set the additional setting "orbi_auto_upg" to 0. So far the older firmware 2.1.4.16 seems to be sticking and not upgrading to 2.2.1.210 which is great.
I also set the Orbi to block the site "downloads.netgear.com" in the advanced>security>block stes tab to try to stop it from being able to access the update URL.
We are 24 hours in with the router not upgrading so I have my fingers crossed it will not update anymore.
