[QUOTE="MadScience2006, post: 106096, member: 1356"] I thought I'd post an alternate method to prevent the iOS 7 update from downloading to your device in the first place (if it's already on the device, this won't help...you'll still have to remove it by restoring the device as new from the device itself as explained above). Somewhere in your router's setup page, you should have an Access Restrictions (or similar) page. What you want to do is block Apple's Update Server from access by your iDevices. The website to enter into your blocking list is: mesu.apple.com On my Linksys WRT54G, I have the ability to block either using the device's IP address or by their MAC (or Wi-Fi) address. I chose to block using the MAC address method. You can find your device's MAC address under Settings>General>About>Wi-Fi Address. In this way, you'll still have full internet access via Wi-Fi and surf the web normally (iTunes, App Store, etc will work fine as well) without worrying about that pesky update being pushed to your device since you've blocked Apple's Update Server from communicating with the devices. If you do want an update at a later time, just disable the Access Restriction policy on the router. [/QUOTE]
