Sites to block to prevent auto updates: 750 & 850 line.

Ok, same story here when I was testing this out on mine in AP mode. Reason for asking is that if I blocked:

http.fw.updates1.netgear.com and or updates1.netgear.com

This caused the RBR to loose internet connection entirely and the front LED to turn ON PINK. Which is why I asked you to see if yours is fully working with these being blocked. Possible there maybe some differences between v3 and v4 sites being used. :smileyfrustrated:

 

So looking at what others posted, 

devcom.up.netgear.com 

and 
a1599er83nvyl8.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com 

were being seen as well. 

 

I just had someone test the decom only and it blocked the FW check, however the system still updated regardless. There checking to see if a1599er83nvyl8.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com maybe needed as well. 

 

You mention pkgupdates.netgear.com which is new to us however could be the additional key in blocking fully any auto updates from happening. 

 

Mines on v4 again and will check this out for sure.

 

Thank you for posting. Good info to have.
