Why wont netgear allow me to downgrade my firmware, where is the "yes" button? (RBR750/RBS750)

First off, why isnt there a "disable automatic firmware update" option? This is a bit ridiculous. Ive spent close to 800-850 on my entire setup including an additional satellite and support contracts...

Did you ever find a fix? I'm having the same issues with the RBR850. Every device is reading link rate 54mbps. Not being able to downgrad to V3 is horrible.

    No and Netgear hasn't said anything. If you can return your Netgear Orbi, I would and never look back. Been too long to get a response from Netgear on a fix. I returned mine and got an Asus AX mesh router that works perfectly.

    After the next firmware update, I recommend NOT to upgrade if your Orbi is working fine. This experience has left a very bad taste that will not be forgotten.
