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...

I installed the beta about 14 hours ago. I'm happy to say it retained my configuration and things are going well. Downstream speeds are back to where they were before. No dropouts either. Router reports seeing both satellites now.

 

I did peform a factory reset to the satellites prior to installing the beta. That was the best option so that I could more easily find the satellites' IP addresses and connect to them directly via ethernet to install the beta firmware.

 

After installing the beta on the satellites, I performed a re-sync between the router and satellites. All is good so far!

    The link to the beta firmware requires a login?  I would relaly like to install this - is the login something I should know?  Can I get into the BETA program some other way?
