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...

Again, I'm using orbi for its strength, strong backhaul, wifi speed and coverage. Orbi is one of the fastest out there. Routing is not Orbi's strength, its meant for home networks so its not really much of a router (at least the functions are not exposed to the home user for that).

 

I use a sophos UTM box Which lets me do a lot more things including a lot more security than what an Orbi can do. Servers, etc.

I'm really curious what special routing is needed. I'm not trying to be rude but I just don't see what real world needs would be. Like I know for business grade hardware the needs/capabilities are much much greater but for a normal house I honestly can't see what those would be.

For me, intrusion prevention, antivirus at the gateway. I am a computer consultant so I'm more interested in network security than most, I suppose.

    OK, that makes sense especially in your line of work.
