I do not understand why everyone "has" to have the same Firmware??? SERIOUSLY does every human "has" to wear the same shoe?? Everyone's environments are different everybody has different scenarios everyone's networking needs are different, people have specific requirements for their situation for their networks...along with forcing the pollution and unnecessary interference by not allowing radio power adjustment or turning off radio not needed as per individual needs and requirements... these are very basic networking concepts being flagrantly ignored by the experts at Engineering is baffling!! Can someone explain why we are now being forced to blast radio at full strength in all directions introducing and contributing to interference already in our neighborhood is this considered smart? I have no way to adjust power on radios any more this is smart? Sorry just running out of patience with Netgear after a year of optimistically waiting... Things with Firmware are regressing instead of forward progress.
JMU1998 It makes support cheaper and easier and means Netgear can push out imprtant fixes with some confidence that they'll actually get applied. It's not a bad idea in itself, but there needs to be an option to opt out.
Speaking of updates ... 1.12.0.20 was released for the Orbi AC2200 systems. Nothing listed beyond 1.12.0.18 for the AC3000 systems. Hmmmm ...

It hasn't hit my Orbis yet. Mine should update automatically.

Anyone have any ideas of how I can dig out of the mess the newest FW 1.12.0.20 caused my RB40 system? I spent 2 hours on it last night trying to roll back the FW to 1.11.0.20. The internet disconnects were so frequent I would end up having to start over in the GUI. I did a full Erase from the GUI, I did a Factory Reset....loaded 1.11.0.20 and it auto updated back to the lastest Crapware. I literally am having to use the hotspot on my phone to work since the wifi disappears several times an hour, loses internet connection and has about 1/4 the speed I was getting before.
Are there some settings I am not thinking of that I should set a certain way? I have tried changing channels (even used a Network Analyzer), turned off Guest Network, toggled Beamforming off and on, did multiple power up resets. Nothing is working and I can't seem to get back to a clean load of 1.11.0.20. This is nuts. Any help would be appreciated. I am kicking myself for not returning this when I had the chance. $300 paperweight.
I'm just going to keep posting this until one of you actually answers.
@DarrenM or @ChristineT
I think the general consensus here is that we don't feel like we're being listened to and the response is totally inadequate, so who can we escalate this to?Willfully ignoring this issue is only making it worse. It's been a month already FFS.

On the other hand, releasing firmware updates full of regressions is going to raise their support costs significantly. Judging by the duration of the support queue, a lot of people are rightly complaining.
