What are the parameters for automatic firmware update?
What, exactly, are the parameters for which a router and/or satellite will auto-update? I know the initial firmware release had a bug that prevented it from working, but I can honestly say I've never once had either device automatically update on its own (a la Google OnHub and Eero). I've waited up to 3 days after a formal release with no automatic updates at all (though both devices will readily update from the web UI after detecting a new version has been released, so I know that part is working). Just wasn't sure what the thresholds were in terms of days after release, whether the router and satellite want to auto-update at the same time or separately, how each determines the best time of day to do it (based on clock? utilization patterns? something else?), etc. Rodney
