Same here. Am up to date according to app

Mine is reporting "V9.13.1.1_1.3.24"

As most of us are still waiting for release notes and the download links, the people who already have this version 9.13.1.2 did you notice any changes in your networks? Speed increases, stability of network, less reboots, etc?
Do you have some feedback to share ?
- DilbyGuide
Will keep you updated over the next few days
Main issues I was facing with the previous version of the FW were:
- Iphone 14 and 16 extremely slow handover between nodes - connection would drop in between
- Wired satellite would drop all wifi clients about every 3-4 days. Purple light on the satellite requiring a reboot.
- intermittent disconnects of Nest cameras

Mine seems to have updated , but to version v9.13.1.1

Not seeing it yet in Virginia via auto-update. Looking forward to its availability.

Mine has automatically updated too (Europe) a couple of days ago.
Could not find yet the release notes on the support page.
I've also tried to login to the beta forum, but apparently I have no access anymore... anyone knows what happened?

Which beta forum are you referring too? This area? How to participate in the Beta Community! | NETGEAR Communities
So your system did update to this recent version of FW?

Well the firmware is officially on the website right now

Is only way to get it auto update? I normally update my setup manually.

Could someone share the download links?

You could check to see if the update pops up in the Orbi app when you check for firmware update, but as FURRYe38 said, it may not be released to every user yet in the US or in any other region. There is usually a delay from when small numbers of users start seeing it to when it posts on the NG page (sometimes a couple weeks or more) and depending on how stable it is, could be even longer before everyone sees it or it posted on the download page.

Ya we need some time to test this out before they release it. Why I'm hoping to get some help to test this out and get some feedback going.
- FURRYe38Guru - Experienced User
NG releases now seems to be first via auto update, and in small batches to see how well it goes and how well it's received by users. If all goes well, then NG will full release to public and provide FW file links. I'd give a couple of weeks at most.
Please be patient.

Hello,
Did you find any more info about this version? Anylist of fixed issues / scope (North America - Europe ? )
As you are already using it; did you experience any kind of improvement ?
- JWS9518Luminary
Release notes tend to take a few days to be published after the firmware starts going out, unless they are only using a small release to see how things go.
- JWS9518Luminary
I have not found release notes yet. I assume it NA only at the moment, since I am in the US. I am using it for the last couple of days. I have not noticed any issues yet, nor any differences. However, the previous firmware was pretty stable for me, and I did not have some of the issues others were encountering.
