Please share your experience!

Okay, thanks. The reason I would want to do factory reset is I had telnet'd into both boxes to turn off auto updating. If I have access to a switch, I'd rather put the devices back into their natural state.
Also if .48 in fact introduced the switch, I'd want to send a shout out to Netgear for listening to our requests as this would be be very much welcomed.

gr8sho Well, I think you can hold off. I DON"T see any disable radio buttons of Auto update after manually loading v48 and doing a factory reset on the system and setting up from scratch. Nothing that has a enable or disable Auto update. I check two different browsers to be sure.
Interesting to know were SW_ got this from....
After setting up, both RBR and RBS are working fine for me. Speeds are to spec for 200/10 wired and wireless. Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming disabled. Beamforming and MIMO enabled...

Agreed. The fix given is certainly not worthy of my time given the description. And I was so looking forrward to gaining that elusive control...

Well, if this is the case then it may not be forth coming. Users been asking for this for a long time. I presume if NG hasn't made it an official feature by now, might not do it at all. Who knows. :smileyfrustrated:

FURRYe38, you should know that the Orbi no longer auto-updates. Remember that discussion thread I opened when NETGEAR released that one version. Orbi operates now the same as their other routers in terms of firmware updates. Refer to that discussion thread again and let others know about it. I’ll post a link on this discussion thread in regards to how Netegear added the “Customer auto-update firmware pull” later when I have more time.
Hope this helps,
