gbjackson did this new Beta Firmware bring back the ability to adjust radio power or turn off radio?

Don't know - haven't dug into it to that extent, and not entirely sure where I'd look for that particular capability.
24 hours in, router and satellite are talking, no drops watching Hulu, other streaming apps on iPad.
Don't see anything allowing any greater control over firmware updating.

From german technical support I just got a very frustrating message, i hope it's just because netgear suppor is badly organized:
" Zudem die BETA-Firmware wird momentan nicht erscheinen da, erst eine neue Firmware herausgestellt worden ist, welche das Problem behoben hat"
A new beta realse software will not be published, because just recently a new firmware has been published that solved the problem !!
(they talk about the defective 1.12.0.18).
Customers are still treated like fools. So has anybody the new firmware or not ?
These days "fake news" are allover, maybe there is not even a new beta software !!
Frustrated by all about that disappointments

If the new firmware is about to released then the beta program will close and they will stop sending out the beta code. could that be the correct interpretation?
