Firmware V1.12.0.18 Discussion

This does indeed appear to be based on (identical to?) the last private beta V1.12.0.16 and has been released to the public.  Hope it helps!   Guest mode AP isolation finally works 100% over IPv4...

**UPDATE RESOLVED **

 

Turns out when I hit the status page on the satellite, the firmware update never took affect originally.

The satellite was still on v1.11.0.20

I manually updated the firmware, now I see it as an attached device, and also on the firmware update page.

 

*********************

 

 

With V1.12.0.18 My satellite doesn't show up anymore in the attached devices, etc. I've powered it off and stuff, but doesn't show up.  Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, I've been having the same issue with 1.12.0.18.

 

 

Something about it doesn't seem to agree with any model of Orbi satellite, and causes a variety of symptoms like:

  • Orbi satellites showing up as WiFi clients instead of satellites under "Attached Devices".
  • Orbi satellites not having their non-backhaul WiFi switched on once fully booted.
  • Very slow ping between Orbi satellites and the router, and between connected devices and the net.
  • Firmware update checker returning "Update failed" status on the satellite (possibly a symptom of the ping issue).
