Beta Firmware
I am having all kinds of issues with the latest update. I am getting disconnects and speed issues. I was running an older version of firmware but the system will not allow me to downgrade back. It automatically updates back to the latest. Any idea how to get the latest beta?
Hello Everyone
We have release firmware version 1.12.0.18 this firmware has fixes for disconnects and many more I posted the release notes below.

If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please post the issues you are having or contact our support team.

- Hello mikerpalmer ,
Which orbi model are you using, Is it RBR40 or RBR50 ?
Are you getting disconnection and speed issue on all devices ?
For RBR50 I GUESS THERE IS A BETA FIRMWARE NOT SURE ABOUT RBR40 . YOU CAN REACH OUT THE ORBI TECH SUPPORT @ 888NETGEAR .It's the RBR50. I am noticing my iPad will drop wifi and then reconnect after about 30 seconds. I have a nest cam which disconnects every so often. Also, noticed my MacBook was connected to wifi but could not reach anything on my network (pings failed) until I turned wifi off/on on my MacBook.
Hello Mike,
you can try the new bta firmware ( V1.12.0.12) but before updating the firmware make sure that the Implicit beamforming and Mu-Mimo is disabled .
- Hello DaoDaoJ ,
Yes you are right the latest beta firmware is V1.12.0.16 .Which will an official one soon.Does anyone have a push date for V1.12.0.16? I have beamForming turned on, will this be an issue if the FW is automatically updated?
not at this time
if beam forming is working for you now it should work when new fw is pushed
