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...

Sunday is automatic firmware upgrade day.  My router and two satellites were upgraded v1.12.0.18.  One of them is not showing in the webGUI as a satellite.  I have tried doing a factory reset and resyncing with no luck.

 

This product is starting to annoy me more and more.

    Did you just get your Orbi?  if not,  i am surpised they didnt update well before Sunday. 

    I suggest you manually update the Satelite via its own web UI first , then do the main Orbi via its own webUI next, then resync if the sateleite doesnt find the main unit after a few minutes.

    I have had it for a couple months.  Have always downgraded as v1.12.0.18 has horrible performance.  I lose 50% in performance with it on my wireless devices.

    i would seriouly consider giving netgear a call and try the beta.  If not then i would telnet in and update the vram to prevent the FW updates after you roll back to  1.11.... 

     

    I had similar issues with throughput with 1.12 but after a really clean reset (as stated in my prior post) and a hard reboot every sunday night at midnight (i have both devices pluged into smart outlets so its automated) , the only issue i was left with was my Samsung S8+ would always drop its connection.  The beta has sorted this and i have no issues thus far
