Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...

Has anyone else had issues with the nvram commands not being as "sticky" as they should be?
Since I made my last post, I've had to downgrade my RBR50 and RBS50 twice, even after setting and committing the nvram settings (including the newer orbi_auto_upg) to supposedly block auto-updates.
While I have not tested this fully (I'm trying to get some work done without the corporate VPN getting disconnected every couple of hours), the behavior is almost as if the Orbi triggers a flag for an auto-update once it learns that firmware updates are available, as it tends to do if you have gone to the firmware update page in the Advanced menu.
I'm hoping that re-resetting the nvram settings after an update is detected, and then simply not going back to that section in the Orbi settings will do it.
....and while typing this message, my Orbi just auto-updated back to .210.
I think I'm going to go check and see if I'm in some kind of warranty/return period, and figure out what I need to order from Ubiquiti. I've wasted too much time on this already, and as a telecommuter, I can't risk my corporate VPN or VOIP going down every couple of hours.

I downgraded over a week ago and did the Telnet commands. Apparently today, NetGear force the upgrade on my unit. Aparently is not scape of this horror.... I am close to start a class action again the company....
