New Features:
Adds an auto-firmware upgrade enable/disable option <Long awaited feature is FINALLY HERE!

Hi all,
I disabled updates via the GUI yesterday. I use the 850s in AP mode only.
The attached logs from just a moment ago today from my SonicWall (which has rules to block attempts by the RBR and RBS's from going to any netgear update site) are attached.
It still seems to be reaching out to the update site even after I toggled it off.
Any thoughts?

This could be semantics. "Block automatic updates" is not exactly the same as "Do not check if there are firmware updates available." The only way the router can inform the user that there is new firmware is by learning about it. Then, it's the user who decides to update or not.
