RBE971 V12.1.10.12 - satellites do not broadcast the IoT SSID (regression from V9.13.x?)
System: RBE971 router plus 2x RBE970 satellites, both on wired backhaul, both showing Good. Firmware V12.1.10.12_5.3.16. IoT network enabled, 2.4 GHz only, WPA2-PSK. Main SSID is WPA2+WPA3. Probl...
As far as I know there is only ONE version of the firmware. Only ONE version is supplied by Netgear at https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbe972s The only difference in Installation Guide for North America versus Europe or APC regions as shown on this firmware update page is the type of power adapter. Has nothing to do with the firmware. V12.1.11.10 only existed from July 13, 2027 to July 28, 2027 (read as 15 days) and as far as I can remember was never intended to be used as reiterated by Netgear. The last firmware specifically marked for NA prior to V12.1.10.12 was V9.12.4.16 in July 2025 with 3 intervening firmware versions listed with no geographical constraint (V9.13.2.1, V9.13.1.2 and V9.12.5.3). I see no mention of a WW region anywhere in the firmware listings. Guess I am still trying to figure out what a wall wart has to do with firmware but I am always open to being educated.
