Worked like a charm! Thank you for sharing!It is a shame NG hiding the disable auto update option from users, this should be available since the begining.

Hi,

an interesting question.... a Netgear admin will certainly reply to you...

I just checked via telnet the nvram entries and values and found columns showing following entries (command in terminal: nvram show "and enter")

auto_update=1

auto_check_for_upgrade=1

There is an easy way to change this values to "0", but Netgear should confirm that one of this entries (or another) is the modification/nvram update you need to change for your purpose - or you try by your own...

Best regards from a happy German user....
