Although automatic firmware updates should probably be the default, there should be a method (easily accessible in the firmware settings) to disable firmware auto-updates. The foregoing would all...
Yes, this is a definite must. Netgear needs to allow their customers to fix their home network that's been broken by a new firmware auto-update by allowing users to stay on a working firmware version until their specific breakages are fixed. It is really bad to force users onto firmware that doesn't work for them. I want the latest security fixes and features, but most of all, I need a working home network.
Netgear needs to keep in mind that how well the firmware on my router works for me depends (at least in part) on the mix of clients that I have on my network. So problems that I see may not show up in Netgear's lab or Beta tests. If a new firmware version breaks my previously working network, the Orbi is useless to me. I don't think that Netgear wants to put customers in that position, so they need to do the right thing with this to allow their customers to continue to use their Orbi.
