New firmware released 1.11.0.20

Some people were saying the 1.11.0.N beta was helping with a lot of issues. There is a new version released, but the release notes don't list any fixes. Has anybody tried the new version to see if it...

    Hello Everyone

     

    We have release firmware version 1.12.0.18 this firmware has fixes for disconnects and many more I posted the release notes below.

     

    https://kb.netgear.com/000044171/RBR50-Firmware-Version-1-12-0-18

     

    If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

DarrenM,

So... even though the image file says RBR/RBS50-V1.11.0.8 it is actually x.x.x.80?

Just want to confirm, as I loaded .8 beta as provided by Netgear support 2 days ago, did a hard reset on both the satellites and router and then manually reconfigured everything again from scratch.

I did not load the prior saved config...

but I would hate to have it auto-update to .20 as I don't have a saved config for .8(0?) and it's a pain to do 12 DHCP reservations and reenter all the proper device names in the attached devices table.

 

Thanks for the assistance to date.

hi

 

you should never load a saved config from a previous firmware as this could potentially cause issues , you shouldnt have to anyway as the firmware doesnt clear the config or factory reset

 

if however you do factory reset you should always manually re enter data needed and not do a restore as you may also import config issues and other things that could cause stability and connection issues
