Yeah, saw today. Interesting that they only mention iPhone 16, but I’m betting it’s more than that hopefully. Netgear finally made a case to get beta access. I just need to submit photos of the bottom of my unit for verification purposes. Do they just need a photo of one of the satellites or everything? One is enough, no? I will be updating to this one later this evening.

Yes was relased already. So give it a try: https://community.netgear.com/kb/en-home-orbi-firmware-releases/new---rbe970--rbe971-firmware-version-9-13-1-2-released/2460006
I highly recommend doing a power cycle of the system off for 1 minute then back on afterwards. If issues are still seen, a full factory reset and set up from scratch will be needed.
