It's pretty difficult to know what you've done wrong without knowing what youv'e actually done or what you did it to.
What hardware are you using and what process did you follow for the update?

I have the RBK53 -1 RBR50 router and 2 RBS50 satellites. I downloaded the beta firmware V2.0.0.64, unzipped it, unzipped the two folders (one for the router and one for the satellites). I plugged in the satellites, found their IP addresses and went to the firmware update. Loaded the beta firmware (RBS50-V2.0.0.64.img) into the update file section and then hit update - this for both satellites. Then, I went to 192-168.1.1 (my router) and manually upladed the RBR50-v2.0.0.64.img. After doing so, all showed V1.12.0.18. I had trouble connecting the sats, so did factory reset on all three. Still showed V1.12.0.18, but the sats keep dropping, and WiFi signal comes and goes. Disconnected the sats, and things are stable with just the router.
Purchased RBK50 set a few days ago and hardware is auto-updated to V1.12.0.18, router connected to BT Smarthub and all parameters are at default settings . Speed has improved but sadly all my iOS devices (6 ipads and iphones in my family) keep dropping wifi on video streaming every few minutes. Thought it was signal strength and bought and other R30 as satellite but couldn't install it at all after 2 hrs of trial. Simply return everything and go back to my slower but reliable set of three AirPort Extremes.
Voting on my feet to tell this company that no matter how excellent the hardware is and how positive those reviews are, the company simply shouldn't warp the hardware with inferior software and use us as guinea pigs to help them testing "official" but in fact beta version.
