Thank you for posting this.
Does the prior version of FW not have the disable Auto Updates for the system?
Anything is possible on this. I've passed this onto NG for review.

No previous FW version gives the option to disable automatic firmware updates.

Wanna go back to that one and confirm that you don't see this issue? Please post screen capture for this if you do.
I might as well use what works best for you.- bulldog00Nov 30, 2022Apprentice
Performed a manual FW Downgrade to the previous version (1.1.6.14). It is confirmed that the issue is resolved in the previous FW version. You can see from the screenshots that the link rate is correct, the Download speed is corrected, and the FW is previous version.
Users do not have the ability to turn off auto update on this Router series; so overnight the FW will automatically upgrade and the issue will begin tomorrow.

Great. Thank you for the info.
Keep this version of FW loaded for now.
I'll pass this on to NG.
