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'd like it if I could prevent auto-update for the firmware as well, don't see how to do that. Given how well the v2.0 test version is working for me, I'm okay with that for the moment.

You can't disable auto-update, and I don't believe the feature is coming, despite it being asked for dozens of times in this thread and despite it being the quickest and easiest fix for a number of us.

Just installed the Linksys EA9500 AC5400 Router ... and it is working great!  My RBK53 system is in the basement, awaiting some firmware that actually works.  So, I'll monitor the forum to see if that actually happens.  No way that I would sell it to anybody as it is right now, business but if there is a fix somewhere down the line ... Well, we'll see.  As it is right now, I'm perfectly happy with the Linksys EA9500.
