RBR850 Frequent Disconnects Starting March 9th AM EST
Yesterday 3/9, starting at about 6AM EST, my Orbi system is disconnecting my Nest Cameras and Thermostat and my work laptop every 10-20 mins or so. I have about 20 devices connected to my mesh syste...
On the Orbi Router (RBR850), preventing the auto-upgrade has proved challenging, so far.
I did set the "auto_upgrade_enable" to 0, but auto upgrade still engaged.
I've tried setting another parameter using nvram commands:
nvram set install_fw_upgrade_latest=0
I'm hoping that is the flag that tells it to install the latest firmware. I've set that parameter, and backrevved to v3.1.5.23 (the latest version which prevents the regular disconnects). Now, I just have to wait through a full 24 hours, and confirm if the auto-upgrade engages or not.
So my update
The older firmware version seems to do the trick however it keeps updating to the latest firmware every night.
