Updates are a good thing, no updates and no reboot is a bad thing, especially on your boundary device protecting you from the "wild west" on the net.

That was plusnet doing that. The router i have now is my own and I check for updates now and again, I don't allow it to happen automatically.
I used an old TPlink for a while, way after it was not being supported, so no updates and I did not have any problems with it, I would be using it now if it could cope with the amount of Wi-fi stuff I have, it was only 2.4Ghz, but I was fine with that, but it was the amount I have that was the problem for it.
