Regular logs + update firmware
Hello everyone, I have an Orbi RBR 850 router and 4 RBS850 satellites. On the router it is version V4.6.9.11 and on satellites version V4.6.8.5. I don't understand what the problem would be with them...

Can someone help me?
The RBS FW needs to be one same version of FW as the RBR.
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Another thing. How can I prevent the router and the satellites from updating automatically? Yes. Or if it is possible for me to set the time interval for him to look for updates?
