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 and IPv6 - much happiness in my household. =)

My network went offline this morning and I just got back from the office - have the new firmware V1.12.0.18 and all my config is gone - I came home to ORBI26 10.0.0.1 network whereas this morning it was a 192.168.86.1 network - everything offline. Still configuring it back best I can.
I spoke too soon, my Galaxy S7 Edge still is disconnecting after the update. I just downgraded back to 1.11.0.20. Way to go Netgear and ruin my perfectly functioning wifi that has worked fine for 8 months with a crappy update like this.
Now I have a 2.4GHz radio on for which I have zero use contributing to the interference in an already congested neighborhood and NO way to turn it off or turn the signal down!! How nice to have a 2.4GHz radio with no assigned SSID running for which I have no use brilliant design! Why Netgear why did you take away the ability to turn off or reduced power on 2.4GHz?
- Guest network now broadcast on main unit as well as satellite
Even after 1.12.x.x, I'm still device connecivity issues.
Running a continuous ping of the devices on my LAN, it appears there is still a a problem with the backhaul and/or the satellite firmware. See below
18 hours post reboot, backhaul has only been active 3 hours. Tx/RX ratio does not look reasonable.
5 hours later, the pattern appears much the same. tx is 150x rxAlso, as you can see the backhaul ping times average 7ms, quite high for a LAN device, with regular spikes into WAN latency territory.
- After updating to this firmware I noticed that all my devices are now listed as "wired" in the Orbi App and the Network Map in theGenie App. Even though they are wireless devices.
They are showing as wireless when I login in locally to the router as they should be. This happening to anyone else?I also see all my devices as wired in the Orbi app.

I see the same behaviour, all WIRED in the Orbi app and all 100% signal strength in the Genie app.

Yeah - I'm seeing the same thing. Obvious coding error...

- We are investigating. Stay tuned
- I lost IGMPv3 support (no more IPTV) after update to v1.12.0.18. Anyone else having the same problem?
**UPDATE RESOLVED **
Turns out when I hit the status page on the satellite, the firmware update never took affect originally.
The satellite was still on v1.11.0.20
I manually updated the firmware, now I see it as an attached device, and also on the firmware update page.
*********************
With V1.12.0.18 My satellite doesn't show up anymore in the attached devices, etc. I've powered it off and stuff, but doesn't show up. Anyone else having this issue?
Yes, I've been having the same issue with 1.12.0.18.
Something about it doesn't seem to agree with any model of Orbi satellite, and causes a variety of symptoms like:
- Orbi satellites showing up as WiFi clients instead of satellites under "Attached Devices".
- Orbi satellites not having their non-backhaul WiFi switched on once fully booted.
- Very slow ping between Orbi satellites and the router, and between connected devices and the net.
- Firmware update checker returning "Update failed" status on the satellite (possibly a symptom of the ping issue).
Can we also get a confirmation from Netgear that functionality lost in 1.12.0.18 like disabling radio, scheduling, tweaking 2.4Gz TX power will be added back? It's a regression that can't be found anywhere in the release notes

Netgear please respond for all that you are going to put back the features for all of the advanced users.
My router is running 1.12.0.18 and I'm not seeing my satellites listed as connected. Also, When I go to Firmware Update, only the router is listed - the satellites do not show up there either (so I can't tell what firmware version they are running). They are not showing up as a "connected device" either on the "Attached Devices" screen.
That said, at this moment I'm connected to one of the satellites via Ethernet cable, so it does actually seem to be connected - just not showing up on the admin screen.
I have done a factory reset on both sateliites and rebooted the router, but that didn't seem to fix anything.
- Here is what I can say, all connectuons are showing wired adter update. Prior to update I was getting full or close to my 175 meg down and 23 to 25 meg up. After update that has,been cut to about 80 to 90 meg if going of the sattelite. The up always remains the same at 23 to 25 meg.
I unplugged the Sat so it just go bandwidth from router. The router is in basement and Sat is on main floor. The speed I got was around 60 to 65 meg down and 23 up. When I go downstairs,with speed test I get the 175. Something not going on well with the sat.....they both have updated firware... if this is not corrected soon they going back I want my 175 back from satteliteI have it in AP mode, web ui is showing Wired / Wireless correctly. I also tested both satellites, I can get 400-500Mbps from each of them.
- I should also mention the the satellite does turn blue and have tried it in multiple locations now trying to get my speed back... clearely the router is putting out max wireless internet speed but satellite is somehow crippled with this update.....Netgear what is going on. Backhaul I understand,has also been affected with this update
Ok awesome my sipped is,back up and consistent. I switched to AP mode and checked the two boxed where beam bending is located. I know,get well over 100 megs/s everywhere in my house
Meh that's ok. I'll leave it as is. I don't mind its set to auto update out of the box but at least give the option to disable that in the admin console :(
