can't make disabling auto-update of FW work (and iOS disconnects)
The only version of firmware that I can use that doesn't cause frequent disconnects with all of the iOS devices (90+% of our users) in my house is 1.12.0.20 (which I helped beta with Orbi techs for some weeks last year and it was to fix the iOS disconnects, and it did!). But the auto-updates to v2.xxxxx have killed it again (nice job Orbi, way to lose the fix), frequent random disconnects across all iOS devices. I downgrade to 1.12.0.20 and everything works great again. Then, to try to disable auto-updates, I have done the Telnet config changes referenced on this board to the Orbi router & satellites --- but the auto-updates still occur. Does anyone know how to truly stop the auto-updates? What am I missing? And Orbi, this is beyond ridiculous. It's ludicrous that you can't fix this issue, don't test properly before you release, and then compound those major misses by FORCING everyone to take these flawed updates. For my household, it makes it unusable!
