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...

Dudes, the beta firmware absolutely fixed everything for my system. iPhones, Nvidia shield, laptops, Google pixel, Ethernet all works no one drop for a week +. One guy in a previous post linked the post that had the beta firmware. Get it from there if you don't want to wait until the next update. I can tell u that I won't change the beta even with future updates. Do a clean install. Best luck. Orbi when working is by far the best out there and I tried the eero 2nd gen pro.

    Of course, your mileage may vary. I've been using current 1.12 firmware for a couple of months without any issues. What seems to work for one person here doesn't always work for all.

    I had linked the Beta but I believe one of the MODs deleted the link. Yes mine has been flawless with the Beta for over a week.

      Try rebooting your router and see if it's still flawless.
