  FYI,
  With firmware V1.12.0.18 when Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices is enabled, my satellite disconnects and will not work at all. I've tried a factory reset on BOTH the Orbi router and satellite. It says the sat is detected, but will not activate after the setup procedure.
  
  Turn this setting off and all is well again. That was four hours of my life that I won't get back again. Needs a revised firmware version.

    Don't you hate that? The troubleshooting with this router can take way longer than it should sometimes.

  V1.12.0.18 has major problems. My RBR50 system disconnects my Wifi devices constantly. Satellite is blinking white unless I sync it manually. After a while it starts blinking white again.

  Why isn't this latest firmware available to be downloaded in the download section?

    The latest firmware is available on the download section, at least for the RBK50, anyways. And it has been working well for me, aside from not being able to disable the 2.4GHz. wireless. Although I wouldn't be using it if I could go to the previous release and use of that without having the Orbi flash back to the latest version of firmware when it feels like it :-).
    
    Here's the URL that I use for support download for the RBK50:
