Orbit Netgear firmware updates

Are Netgear Orbi devices automatically updated over-the-air to protect against new vulnerabilities? For instance the issues that affect the Circle by Disney integration described by Cisco Talos researchers in October 2017 (https://www.zdnet.com/article/circle-with-disney-web-filter-riddled-with-vulnerabilities/)

 

Thanks

Re: Orbit Netgear firmware updates

No. 

Updates are pushed via AutoUpdate thru the Orbi routers wired connection with the ISP modem when they become available or users can manually download FW files and install them manually via wired LAN cable connection with a PC.

 

I you have concerns about Disney Circle, please post about them here:
