The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...

I used the built-in update. I have auto-update disabled and will keep that disabled FOREVER!
Happy New Year!!!
Flash - can you please detail how you disabled auto-update in such a way that it is actually 'sticking' and not auto-updating? Myself, and several others, used the older telnet instructions and changed the three values etc, but it auto-updated anyway. Do you have a new way of doing it that seems to stick? Thanks!

I'm not Flash...but there are FOUR settings that need to be adjusted:
- orbi_auto_upgrade
- auto_check_for_upgrade
- auto_update
- orbi_auto_upg
The instructions that are usually referenced omit that last item.
Even then, I had a few issues with getting the settings to stick, since the system kept wanting to start an auto-check/auto-upgrade cycle before I could make the changes. Waiting a day and trying again finally, knock wood, did the trick.
