i am using apple/safari and when i sign into the orbi login it does not show anywhere for me to set auto updates? is this just not available anymore for those that do want it?
s correct. There is no setting for automatic firmware updates.
I have one Orbi system on 2.3.5.0 that is quite stable and secure. The other is on 2..7.2.104 and was affected by the Daylight Saving Time fiasco. Newer is not always better.
Far too many posts on this forum begin with, "The app said" or "I got an email" and updated Orbi firmware, "NOW, I this horrible problem"
I have as yet never seen a post that starts with, "Dumb old me, I neglected to keep my Orbi firmware current and ... (this happened)."

lol, if these are not security updates then i guess i should not worry
that is exactly what happened, got an email and it said you need to update
tried to update and iphone app did not work, which led me down this rabbit hole and 3 hours out of my day
thank you
