with the firmware update 2.7.3.22, my orbi router restarts several times a day. it only started happening with 2.7.3.22. i manually downgraded to 2.7.2.104, and that worked like a champ, but it automatically updated again. i have referenced online instructions, but the orbi admin site that i'm using (orbilogin.com) does not have an option to turn off automatic firmware updates like the instructions indicate. hopefully someone can help me. thanks!

Can't be turned off. If you have a upstream router for firewall, can be blocked there.

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
also, i tried factory resetting first, and that didn't work. when i downgraded the firmware that fixed it completely, i'm just hoping someone can help me turn off auto-update for the firmware, until a new version is available and hopefully not problematic for me. thanks!

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
I have been having the exact problem since the new firmware update...how do you downgrade the firmware to the previous version?

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
Be aware that the system might auto update back to v22. Unless you have a upstream router that you can use to block the auto update services, you might get v22 again. Had the system been factory reset and setup from scratch after v22 was loaded?

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
any idea how often netgear pushes a firmware update? this is getting really rough (having the router restart itself 2-4 times a day). i'm kind of hoping that a new firmware update fixes this problem for me. thanks!

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
No. NG doesn't announce when new FW is forth coming.
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Voxels-FW-available-for-50-series-Orbi-only-available/m-p/1883...
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/custom-firmware-build-for-orbi-a-la-faq.65224/
You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
Once Voxels FW is on, your Orbi won't attempt to load any NG stock FW. He changes the version coding to avoid the auto update checker.
Any FW updates you need from Voxel you have to do manually.

Could anyone tell me the solution to this or was one never really found? I will admit I do not know what Voxel is.

Re: orbi router restarts several times a day with firmware 2.7.3.22
as far as i can tell, it was not resolved. i literally purchaed a new wifi router (TP link). so frustrating, but i just couldn't work with the unreliable connection any longer.

I agree. This just started a few weeks ago. It's pretty maddening. Thanks for the response.
