ex8000 new firmware released : V1.0.1.186 no release notes yet

Hello,

 

a new firmware has been released if you press the check update button on the EX8000. This update includes a guest mode but there are no release notes yet.  No idea how it works in AP mode.

    It's not posted at the ex8000 support page either (which shows 1.0.1.180), which is unusual.

      How about Netgear fixing connection issues that everyone is complaining about before implementing new features? Oh wait, they totally missed the boat on Guest mode. In took what almost a year to figure out that Guest mode is missing?

        Flyturbo,

         

        I've using it now in AP mode and that works without a problem. The only issue is that the Connected Devices menu is not showing any devices by default. pless the reload button and you get answers like this: <unknown> as device name. Better to try to connect all range extenders with a (ehternet over power) cable.
