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...

1st off Netgear you guys gotta get your acts together and figure this Orbi situation out! I personally paid over $500 for a orbi system and I do love me some Netgear but the only feature I want is the actual mesh in this mesh system lol! Why cant one satalite connect to
Another instead of the router! 1 year and this last firmware still nothing! I don't even wanna get started with all the stuff we want that have been mentioned in this community post! Netgear you guys will lose customers left & right if you guys dont speed up this firmware issue. I never knew we purchased an item that was defective that needs so much updates lmfao! #FIX #SAD #UbetterTHANthat

    Having been one on the thread that had praised 1.12.0.1x from the disaster that 1.11 was, after a complete system reboot (due to swapping a UPS on the router) I can say that after that reboot, my first since 1.12.0.18 was released, my system now is a complete mess.

     

    I'm not sure how a reboot could take a perfectly working system on 1.12.0.18 to what I have now, but it did.

     

    My S8+ and my Surface Pro (2017) now continually show the WIFI icon with the ! sign, with the message "Waiting for the quality to improve" to "no internet".  They'll connect for a few minutes, then go back to the weird connected, but disconnected state.

     

    I have 6 chromecasts and at least 3 are now continually buffering or reconnecting every minute or so.

     

    1.12.0.18 had been, up until yesterday a God send, but now (and following subsequent reboots) is a complete mess as so many are reporting.
