IF your ISP modem has a built in router already, you dont' have to downgrade to v10, you could just downgrade to last version of v3 then block NGs auto update service to the Orbi router on the ISP router.

The last three firmware updates have changed my system from functional to completely unusable. Dropouts constantly, unstable, unworkable. I've done so many factory resets. I gave up and I've unplugged the entire system, I am using my single ISP modem on the ground floor, and it is much better (actually an upgrade).
The way I see it, I was scammed out of 600 euros by this slimy excuse for a company.

My ISP modem can't do that, I'm pretty sure.

From the limited search I did, seems like this box has a built in router and wifi...

So are you saying that this particular router doesn't have the ability to block host name or IP addresses from WAN side sources?

Thats a shame. :smileyembarrassed: Ok. You'll have to do the long method then to block.
