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...

For those who have downgraded (and changed nvram settings to prevent the auto-update) - what firmware did you settle on? it seems like a lot of people are reverting to 1.11.0.20, but I was wondering if one of the even earlier ones might be better? (I have an RBK53, i.e., the Costco router + 2 satellites, and neither satellite is connecting as a satellite)

 

Cheers

Costco RBK 53 here - 2 sets in our family - both rock stable on 1.11.0.20 downgrade.  (also Mu-MIMO and beamforming off by default and not sure if you need to do but disabled 20/40 co-existence under advanced wifi settings).
