I just received the 2.1.3.2 Orbi Beta Firmware Today. After asking Netgear support if I will be notified of future Beta updates, they said that I would have to find that information out through the community boards or specifically ask Netgear support if there is an updated beta version available to download.

Looks like they fed you a line. Next release is supposed to be in the 2.2 series like the current beta 2.2.0.30. Have no idea where they came up with 2.1.3.2 as the highest rev is 2.1.2.18

    2.1.3.2 is a beta not posted on the support site. Users can call in and ask them about the beta. 

    Depending upon what comes after beta, it maybe a v2.1xx or v2.2 version. Only NG will now this.

    I hope you have better luck than i did with 2.1.3.2 I got it last week and after updating and resetting my system. I had just about finished the setup and the internet dropped. 

     

    Took me 1 1/2 hours on the phone to get this. And it is not even any good.

      Are all versions of the new Beta useless or is a relatively stable one available?

        I've been having pretty good results with 2.2.0.30-20180221. It's not perfect, but it's stable. I can't speak for any other beta versions.
