I think I saw a post you had the 8 series, if so, "last version of FW that has Telnet on the debug page is V3.2.11.2. All versions beyond that do not have telnet on the debug UI web page,"

Downgraded to V3.2.11.2_1.2.13 and have telnet in to disable upgrade on the router. I cant work out how to do this for the satellites though? is it required?
Will the satellites still upgrade themselves automatically even if the router is saying service unreachable?

Good question.
Looking at the users post regarding the telnet method, he seems to inidicate that both RBR and RBS needs that telnet config:
4. Enable Telnet option on both Router and the Satellite in their Debug.html page.
5. Telnet connect to both devices, and ran the following code to block.
Seems that the RBS need this telnet config as well. - stu3886Oct 20, 2021Apprentice
so i ran all the below on the RBR and both RBS's and it still says status V4.6.3.16 for the satellites :(
the router is all good and says service unreachable, but very worried about the satellites auto upgrading.
