Firmware V1.12.0.18 Discussion

This does indeed appear to be based on (identical to?) the last private beta V1.12.0.16 and has been released to the public.  Hope it helps!   Guest mode AP isolation finally works 100% over IPv4...

3rd day on the beta firmware 0 drops everything working fast and finally fine... If it continues like this I'll never update again and will stay with this beta firmware for the rest of my Orbi days lol don't trust new firmware anymore specially if you cannot prevent auto updates. Crazy how long Netgear is taking to release the new firmware but happy to be stable with the beta.

    I have this sneaking feeling they are waiting on chipset manufacturers for the radios in these things to release updates that they then build into the firmware. All these companies do is take the new chipset tech and package it into a product.

      Well, if they are releasing the Orbi Pro at least we know what Netgear are focused on !

       

      Much the same as last time when the RBK30 and RBK40 were released - all efforts were focused on their release  to the detriment of the old RBK50.
