Block iOS 11 Update Notification from Router

Stop Settings from using Data will affect you from using the iCloud related function. If you want to keep the iCloud functional, you may try to block the iOS 11 update via your router.

mesu.apple.com and appldnld.apple.com are the domains related to the iOS updates. So you can try to block these two domains in your Router.

Step 1: Connect a device to your router

Step 2: Type in the router's IP address which is mentioned on your router.

(If you don't know the IP address, please ask your router's manufacturer for more details.)

Step 3: Go to related Settings to find the option to block these two domains.

Please note, this method can only prevent your device from downloading the update when you connect to your own router. And it will still download the updates when you connect to other public WIFI.

Despite all these methods, you may have to update your OS eventually. Get more information of what’s new in iOS 11.2.5 if you are interested in updating to iOS 11. Also you can follow the tips how to update iOS 11. And remember to backup all your data before updating a system.
