RBR40 Firmware V1.12.0.20
I'm afraid to update my firmware to v1.12.0.20............
Has anyone done this? Are there any known issues? Does it appear stable?
- Ah if it were only that simple. It will sit there for a week or more but eventually it will auto update. You can't stop it. If I were in your shoes I would return it. Several months ago after 2 months of this same crap, I was able to convince Amazon to take it back for a full refund even though it was a month out of the return time. I had the label printed but 1.11.0.20 had just come out. I went out of town for 2 days and when I came back my system was stable and running the way it was always supposed to. I waited a few more days and then cancelled the return. Big mistake. Should have listened to my instincts.

i found that mine had auto-updated to it the other day. Doesn't seem any different to 1.11.0.20, seems to work much better than 1.12.0.18 did!
I do wonder whether or not it's simply a renaming of 1.11.0.20 so units that updated to 1.12.0.18 will 'upgrade' automatically to this older version
FWIW....it screwed my system up yet again (drops, internet disconnects, unstable, etc..). I had already done a full factory reset and loaded back 1.11.0.20. Everything was working well again after .18 disaster. Now I had to do it all over again. Back to 1.11.0.20. Things seem to be ok again. I have the RB40. I am so done with Netgear.
PS. Here is a link to the release notes for 1.12.0.20. It sure doesn't look like a clone of 1.11.0.20.
