Be cause historically owners complained about when NG was auto updating systems. We push and pushed to get NG to stop this and give users control. They finally relented and gave users control over this. So you can now disable AU features.

This IS a good thing.

  Ok. Mines updated manually and in AP mode as of yesterday with a power cycle after FW was loaded. No Factory resets. Connected to a XR1000 host router to a CAX80 modem only mode. RBS are ethernet connected via 2.5Gb switches to RBR.
  
  Orbi app for Apple and Android are connecting via local network.
  
  Will see how Anywhere Access does.
  
  Speeds are to spec.
  
  System is working so far in AP mode.
  
  I guess I never picked up this up before, but the RBS web page has a 8 series picture icon:

    Mine updated automatically. I found out only because the satellite names I established were changed back to the defaults. No other problems so far, except several of my devices continue to not connect to the nearest satellite. Nothing new there. For example, my coffee maker is literally 5 feet from one of the satellites, yet likes to connect to the one in the basement, a good 20 feet and one floor away.
