rexet The thing that gets me is they're aware of this thread, it's been pointed out to them multiple times and they've acknowledged it exists, but they've not acknowledged any of the issues and they've chosen, for some inexplicable reason, to stick their head in the sand instead of responding.
It's definitely a difficult situation. For some, 1.11.x broke so much functionality, and 1.12 has fixed all of that. For my 90 devices, the Orbi is back to working like it did prior to the disaster that was 1.11.x.
Retired_Member From a technical standpoint it's not simple, though arguably Netgear have been doing this a long time and should have the testing practices in place to ensure major issues like these aren't discovered by customers. But from a customer relations standpoint it's simple, fess up and face your customers. If we feel like we're being listened to we'll be far more tolerant. The approach Netgear is taking is baffling and smacks of either arrogance or incompetence. Either way, they're losing customers and their product is becoming further tarnished.
Sometimes bugs are missed, I get that, but it's how you respond that determines whether you're a company worth putting trust in. I wouldn't touch any of their products at this point.
