I will throw it up in my guest room and see how it holds up for a few days.
Just for checking, if one has to stick with a 3.xx firmware which one do you personally recommend?
Firstly thanks for all the help furry. You have been patiently helping everyone here, and while i was being sarcastic earlier, your help is much appreciated.
Using PFsense i threw up on an old nuc, i was able to block all updates and manually shift to 3.2.18xx which is the last v3 update. So far it seems to work. Taking your advice i reset them entirely, kept them off for half a day, and then plugged them back in and added them back. I think one of my satellites is a bit wonky, since it oddly loses connection once in a while, but the rest of them seem to be holding up fine.
I have been able to successfully block updates via pfsense, since whenever i check via firmware updates manually, it gives a connection error. I looked up all the names suggested here in the various threads and added all of them to a small blocklist.

I was blocking by taking my provider's router out of gateway mode and using the block list on that. I had to stop that, as their router mode has a bunch of issues that cause be trouble with connections I make for work.
For now, I've stopped using the Orbi, as the V4 firmware is way too unreliable. I've gone back to my older Asus AI Mesh setup and have been waiting for an Orbi update that fixes this mess. If a fix isn't available soon, my Orbi is going up on eBay.

I tried blocking all of these addresses on my Fios Router (my Orbi is in AP mode) to no success. When I go to the webpages below, I get a blocked message, so I know something is working.
