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...

Nice try guys but a fail.  I upgraded to version 2 and within 2 hours everything was locked up.  No internet access or WiFi access.  Same as the previous versions.  Until you perfect the firmware, the system is garbage.  I have an expensive 6 month old paper weight.  Not a complex network.  One satellite and 22 devices connected to a Spectrum cable network thru a SB3400 modem.

 

It is obvious you have no clue as to what is wrong with these units.  They should be recalled.

 

I am going to post to Amazon and other boards the truth about Orbi.

I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you but the Orbi has 2,387 reviews with an average of 4 and a half stars out of 5 so your 1 negative review isn't going to do much if anything. 

 

Also, "the truth about Orbi"? The truth is that the majority of people experience no issues but there are always outliers. Company forums are overwhelmingly occupied by the outliers that have had a bad experience with a hadful of us that have had little to no issues.
