FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to DISABLE firmware auto update

Please add the ability to DISABLE the firmware auto update.

Add a radio button to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update.

Default would be ON for the masses, and for those of us that are so inclined and having issues we could set it to OFF.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to DISABLE firmware auto update

Note there's a specific forum for such ideas:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home

 

And there's a specific entry there already for this:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/Orbi-System-Disable-automatic-firmware-updat...

 

Currently has 64 upvotes, but never any indication of support from Netgear.

I am aware and also already upvoted it there. It has just been brought up a lot in this discussion. Thank you for adding the link to it though as this may guide some newer users there to upvote it as well. I should have done that in my initial post.
