Genius move! Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately, Netgear said they removed the option for a user to deselect 'autoupdate'...
In order to prevent the router and satelites to auto update:
in Advanced Security, I blocked 2 sites in the firewall:
updates1.netgear.com
Now the router is unable to download the FW update as you can see in the log files:
[site blocked: www.updates1.netgear.com] from source 192.168.2.5 Thursday, Oct 07,2021 12:54:26
Auto update is impossible now!
Personally I managed to roll back to Firmware Version V4.6.3.9_2.0.50
Keep my fingers crossed the WiFi network is stable now
At the same I invested EUR 1800 in a high end wifi system finding myself in this situation. Pretty scandalous Netgear!
