Look at the sticky post at the very top of this forum entitled "Orbi - Wireless Network not available or LED flashing white on Router or Satellite"
How hard is it to downgrade? I am tired of MacBook Pro switching to the 2.4 GHz from the GHz network. I would like to turn off the 2.4 GHz radio.
I would also like them to add a feature where you can say this MAC address can only connect to this radio.
I am not impressed with their test team. The conversations I have had with them they said they only had two Macs for their testing.

Easy. Just download the firmware you want and use the manual update feature. Do your sattelite first to be on the safe side, though I had no issues with downgrading the router first. Once you've been downgraded the firmware will no longer auto-update, though you will get a notification.
It will auto update, see my post 163, mine took 5 days though before it did. Use the telnet method to edit nvram settings or set a block rule to downloads.netgear.com to stop it

You shouldn't have to go through all of that just to keep your router from upgrading to a firmware you do not want. You risk bricking your router. Netgear should have this set to not auto update by default or at least give you more control in the UI menu.

Well that blows. Thanks for the tip, I'll be blocking the update service when I get home.
