New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update

The effect of the automatic update to 2.3.1.44 was like a factory reset for me. My WiFi SSIDs had been wiped away and my Sonos amp is no longer able to access my WiFi even after I reconfigure Orbi.
I called NG support and was told there is no way to prevent automatic updated once the Router is set-up. The only way the tech knew about the prevent automatic firmware updates is to choose the option during the initial configuration process.

There's an option for this during setup? I sure don't remember seeing one. (I am not about to do a Factory Reset just to find out.)
I didn't see an option to disable AutoUpdate.
