***UPDATE***
So everything has been fine on the old firmware with the auto updates blocked.... BUT since the weekend the router has managed to auto updated to the latest firmware and the system is running very poor again.
I downgraded the firmware again and did the usual telnet blocks but again this morning its upgraded itself automatically!
Is there new stuff that needs to be blocked now to prevent these auto updates?
Is there anything Netgear have changed to allows us to block these auto updates?
Nothing has changed in the last few months so dont know how the router was able to auto upgrade itself :(
Please review this and give this version of FW a try:
Been having way better results with this loaded.

Thank you, when it did the auto update i dont think it installed Version v4.6.7.5 so im asuming this will need a manual install?
Does this solve the issue where facebook and instagram apps dont load properly on iPhone?
Yes it will have to be manually installed.
I don't know. I don't use FB or I on my iPhone anymore. FB is on my Android pad and works fine. I haven't seen other posts about having issues with FB or I with v5 loaded.
