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...

ghernb Something certainly needs to be done. Netgear are definitely aware of this thread, so they're choosing not to respond to these issues. I think I'll do the same as you. Hopfully we can get some traction if this becomes more public.

This was in a comment to an Amazon review:

 

"Hi GBJackson,

The latest firmware should not have broken the connection from the satellite to the router, and we would like to look into this with you. Can you please email us your contact information along with a link to your review to netgearteam@netgear.com, and we will be happy to help you.

Regards,
NETGEAR Team"

 

Are they not reading this message board???

    Don't know - I was going on the theory that they read Amazon reviews much more closely.  I was right - they called me and I'm actually on the phone with "tier 2" now.  Tier 2 actually aknowledges the existence of an issue.

        after playing around with the settings the best performance for me is with 

        a) fw 1.11.0.20 (downgrade using this thread starting page 5)

        b) mu-mimo and beamforming ON (improves range behind walls)

        c) uncheck 20/40 co-existence

        d) turning off the guest network (which if enabled my android tablet shows it runs on the same channel as the main netwrk possibly causng interference)
