Firmware update V1.3.0.12
Anybody else get this tonight? I just checked for an update and V1.3.0.12 showed up and downloaded. Up and running, just not sure what it did. Looks like the webpage isn't updated yet. 🤔
If you click on the V1.3.0.12 link in the Firmware Update page it shows a nifty popup with the changes:
Current Version: V1.2.0.6 New Version: V1.3.0.12 Release Notes:

What the heck? So we can no longer see which devices are connected to the router versus the satellite? :P

Looks like it. Have to log in to the satellite seperately now to look at its attached devices list.
...where you can't define device names (can only be done on the router).
This is stupid! Why on earth would this UI change be made, unless it's to reduce complaints that devices aren't properly connecting/migrating to the appropriate AP (which is true)?
*sigh* Don't get me wrong, I love my Orbi setup. I've gone through Google OnHub and eero to get here. For my home, Orbi is *by far* the best solution - but damn, I hope they aren't going down the route of obfuscation versus actually fixing issues. We still can't see the quality of the backhaul link, for Chrissakes! :/
