Automatic updates in routers

Seems to have a good range. I love that the Aimesh system seems to keep you connected to the strongest signal. My only problem so far has been the automatic update function. Asus released a new update in August and I lost my internet connection. When something like this happens, I usually just turn off the device and everything is fine. This router is on the system in our second home. We left when this update happened and had no intention of returning for over a month. I had my neighbor turn it off a few times to no avail. That wouldn't be a big deal, except that my sprinkler system also uses the internet to set the time and frequency to water. When I arrived and tried to boot the system it still didn't work. I connected to the router and it worked by default even though no one pressed the reset button. I hope this doesn't happen again when I'm not here for a while. I wish there was a way to turn off automatic updates so I can at least stick to my terms when it comes to updates.
