Well, I guess I didn't do something correctly when disabling auto firmware upgrades. My router and satellite were upgraded to V3.2.9.2 last night. I'll see how it goes before trying to downgrade again.
And, the issue is back. Time to downgrade again. Sigh...

cruisencode I also had an auto update last night even though I set the values via telnet. I'm wondering if it requires a reboot, which I will try today after downgrading and setting the value again.

Just a question. Why on earth would Netgear roll the latest version available back to 3.2.9.2 when they know people are also having problems with that version as well.
The community has confirmed for them that 3.1.5.23 works. This is just madness. If I had bought this device from Amazon I would be sending it back now.

There isn't a problem with v3.2.9.2. Only something with v10.11 after getting pushed from the auto update servers does something break then also breaks v3.2.9.2 even after users downgrade to that version. v3.2.9.2 was working before v10.11 came to the picture. Someone else just said that they downgraded then let the system upgrade again to v10.11 and now there system is stable again.
NGs Auto push update servers have had a long history of causing problems for Orbi AC. This maybe still the case with Orbi AX.
Lets give NG the change to fix this. Again, something in the auto update servers or something happened in the push that causes problems. Those of us who got this update before the push have not seen any issues as seen with those of you who got pushed too, aside the CTS and RTS values being changed. Even then the system worked for us. Let be patent while NG works on this.
In mean time users can downgrade to v3.1 or or use there Orbi AX in AP mode with there prior router until NG comes out with something.
