I have beta FW V1.10.1.4 installed for both RBR40 router and two RBS40 satellites. So far so good in terms of WiFi connection to iDevices...
Can I ask the scary question? How is the backhaul? Does it yoyo from -110 to -xx?
I only ask because there's a fear that small intermittent drops might not register as disconnections in the WiFi status symbol (but are noticeable in real-time communication like Skype) or maybe clients (that are close enough) rapidly connect to the router's SSID during the dropouts?
I don't know if the backhaul is the be-all end-all, but it might be a positive sign. No worries if you aren't able; I'm only curious.
Frankly I have no idea what backhaul is and how to measure it, but am willing to try when I get home tonight. I believe I saw instructions in this thread somewhere...
