The Netgear Armor scan is wasting paper on my printer.  Apparently it does it's weekly scan, and the printer thinks a print job is starting.  I want to disable the internal scan at least for that dev...

Official or not, try downloading and installing the latest update. It's readily available on the website. "Glenvis" even posted a link.

I have not had an issue since I updated to the newest version. You can't trust the app to determine whether you have the latest version or not, as the app shows you to be "up to date" when you're really not. You have to search it out on Netgear's website. 

Good Luck

I disabled Netgear Armor as well.

 

The Orbi iOS app recognizes that there is a firmware update available (2.5.18) and it is currently on 2.3.5.30, however, it does not update.

 

I clicked Update and it appears to go through to update itself and then reboots the router, but the update never happens.  It remains on the older firmware.

 

Has anyone experienced this issue?

    My experience has been that you have to go online and update from there. Attempting to update from the app NEVER worked for me.
