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...

ok let me rephrase, how can I get the max speed out of my wifi with google wifi or eero or linksys velop for that matter which I just returned due to it being 100Mbps-200Mbps up/down slower? and no, not every AP will handle a gig up/down. I tried many in the past on just a 300Mbps connection which failed to get above 200Mbps

Well let's take a step back then. Are you testing your speed being hardwired to the RBR, being connected wirelessly to the RBR, hardwired to a satellite, or connected wirelessly to the satellite?

 

Hardwired to the RBR I expect full gigabit up/down (or the closest consumer-grade approximation thereof).

 

Wireless to the RBR I expect somewhere around 60% of the max speed so figure ~520Mbps

 

Hardwired to the satellite I'd expect aroud 575Mbps

 

Wireless to the satellite I'd expect to look somewhat like a wireless connection to the RBR with an extra latency hop so around 520Mbps.

 

Now this is all assuming you're within line of sight and no other devices are talking at the same time.

 

I'd expect a Google WiFi or Eero to perform the same on the hardwired portion and at least similarly when conected to the main unit (the one connected to your WAN or LAN.)
