A new Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102 installed automatically during the night. So far so good!

Since I'm only having cosmetic issues with it I'm not willing to go down that rabbit hole. I would like to know how to prevent future forced updates though.

The only method that people have found to block updates is to block access to the Netgear firmware updates web site, which (I believe) requires a router upstream of the Orbi.
