beta firmware V1.12.0.12

Have been given the latest beta version which states improvements to band steering. Has anyone been running this version and noticed any improvements?

    No improvement for me with the V1.12.0.12 and V1.12.0.16 beta corncerning my band steering releated iOS disconnect issues. If Netgear would add the option to disable band steering (and let the client do it) Orbi would probably be perfect for me, instead of being hardly usable. I also dislike that Netgear removed the option to completely disable the 2.4GHz band.

      Why was the option to completely disable 2.4GHz removed? I have zero legacy devices on my network and have currently 2.4GHz disabledyand want it disabled? Netgear if are reading this PLEASE put this option back in!
