If you manually downgrade to .210 you can then telnet and disable autoupdates. See https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/8ke43v/how_to_disable_autoupdate/dz6xz9l/

This worked fine for me. As far as I can tell, once you update to .44 if you change those settings it will autoupgrade once (even if you're already on .44) and then not do it again.

CrimpOn FWIW I recently did a factory reset as part of the manual upgrade to .44 and I don't remember seeing a setting to prevent autoupdates.

Thank you mith_it for posting that info ...

i just got got fed up with my video problems due to the WiFi and decided not to reflash .44 and set up from scratch but instead downgrade to 210.

At first when I was on the 44 it seemed to work then days latter problems stared , rebooting helped but a few days latter problems came back.

So today I decided to downgrade to .210 and keep my settings, so no factory reset has been done but I did power cycle both.

I do notice stronger WiFi, great picture streaming , so far , will see over the next week how goes.

Thanks to all!

  If you have never done a factory reset, then one should be performed. Proven to help solve most issues.
  
  Installed a RBK50 3 days ago with v44. Still running as expected.
