Can someone please point me in the right direction for the release notes (v1.10.1.2) OR Summarise what is included?

Its rubbish like every firmware update so far by the looks. I have no idea how they could possibly have released this product as is. Alexa drops off all the time. My LIFX bulbs switch on and off by themselves, drop off completely, re-appear. I get massive peaks and troughs in speed. Router doesnt produce the same distance as my 4 year old Asus Router. I have Magenta ring on my Router that no one can explain. I cant login to Router using web or app when the Magenta ring is there. Its seriously one of the most expensive and poor products available but yet continues to get rave reviews online by thos "tatsemakers" who use the product for 20 mins.

I was one of the first few to complain about v1.10.1.2 but its been a few days now and for whatever reasons it seems to have settled itself. We only have 100Mb internet access to so I cant comment on backhaul drops and so forth but for the last 2 or 3 days I have had steady internet access at about 90Mb, Amazon Alexa has been available every time I went to use it and my LIFX bulbs have also had a steady access. I just felt like that I tend to complain a lot when something is not right but i should also say when things are OK and as mentioned, for whatver reason, my system has seemed to have settled in now.

Have been using WiFi Explorer and it's totally weird.It goes from a relatively stable line to a totally erratic spiked graph at random intervals.

Yes, I have to agree this isn't a good firmware update (very frustrating). I can only connect 1 x Satellite's at a time (vs the 2 x I had successfully on v1.9.x) - I tried resetting to factory default and reconnecting/sync'ing the Satellite - it fails on the 2nd Satellite. Over the past 2-3 firmware updates I've wasted too much time getting them all connected and working again - reluctantly now considering returning the Orbi and getting something else. I love the Orbi hardware, but the testing before they release new firmware is unacceptable.

  Update - after much wasted time, I downgraded my main Orbi router and 2 x Satellites to firmware V1.9.1.12 and got the Satellites to re-sync (took some factory resetting and perseverance). I'm back to a working overall Orbi system though (for now). I've suspected before that Netgear doesn't do enough testing on the 2 x Satellites on firmware updates vs the 1 x Satellite configuration.

  I agree.
  
  I have been one of the few that was solid as a rock (in AP mode) from pretty much the beginning, but after the latest official firmware, I am getting CONSTANT drops - literally every few minutes.
  
  Netgear, FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or force a rollback!

Firmware ReadMe:

1. Added a feature where some users can no longer see that their device and being forced to use the router and not satellite.

2. Upgraded disconnect issue to ensure it happens more frequently.

3. Increased backhaul drop rate to destabilize connections.

4. Introduced bug where satellite won't sync.

5. Retrained support technicians to ensure customers become frustrated and just give up on their cases.

Thank you for choosing Netgear!
