Working with a support call on a Orbi System router + 3 sattelites because of constant wifi signal dropouts. After numerous resets and many times emails back and forth with support i summarize: 1.12.0.18 seems not to be ready for prime time for a lot of people who spent a lot of money.
some people here are already happy if the systems works for a few days with out issues., i would not call that a reliable stable technology at all.
no ETA's for new firmware. maybe one day they will fix it, till then hardly to be recommended.
Lucky those people where it works, great signal strength , great penetrations through difficult walls, but stability sucks ..
I was one of those users that had rock solid performance until the 1.11.x release. Not sure what happened, but it's been a mess since then.
Just out of curiousity, since 1.12 remains broken for lots of folks and 1.11 seems to have a nasty habit of regularly dropping iOS devices, what are others' thoughts on rolling farther back? Is there any sort of consensus on what the last stable version of the system's firmware was?

For me, 1.10.x was rock solid for my 90+ devices as were all releases prior to that. Interestingly 1.12 seemed to have fixed that for me for about a period of 3 weeks, UNTIL I rebooted the orbi and the sats and then began experiencing the reboots and "Internet Not Available" in Android and Windows. Note, I have no iOS devices.
