Why is ORBI making FTP connections to 165.254.106.214 every hour on the hour?
Anyone shed some light as to why my orbi router is opening an FTP connection to 165.254.106.214 every hour?
A packet captured revelead some commans such as:
cwd sw-apps
cwd ready-genie-web
cwd orbi
then it quits. Is this some sort of automated firmware upgrade check or do I need to start blocking some ports from orbi going out?

Hello cerebral
Yes orbi does check the server for auto updates.
