Firmware V1.12.0.18 Discussion

This does indeed appear to be based on (identical to?) the last private beta V1.12.0.16 and has been released to the public.  Hope it helps!   Guest mode AP isolation finally works 100% over IPv4...

I did this and my router and satellite still updated v1.12.0.18.  NetGear support is not helpful.  I want a stable system.

Did what? If you used the "config" commands that I posted above, my experience has been that my Orbi stays on whatever firmware version I flash. Very surprised if that's the case, hasn't happened to me. If you used the "nvram" commands, then yes, your Orbi will auto-flash the latest.

 

Did have a problem when I re-installed my desktop computer. Forgot to turn off power management on my network interfaces, and had problems until I remembered to do that. While that wasn't related to the Orbi, it had me thinking that the Orbi was causing disconnects until I took care of business. Now everything is nice and stable again.

 

Thanks.
