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...

Support helped correct my FW update error... I did a manual update for the SAT to get the information from the upate page to match.

      I hope this is the fix needed. I'm and going to end my eBay auction early on my Orbi and give it one last shot. This is the first time I have seen support email a firmware and post it to the message boards with such confidence.

        You may want to try a factory reset before loading new firmware.

     How can I get that Update Failed message to go away? I updated to the latest firmware.

      I had the same thing happen. What I did was first downloaded 1.12.0.18 firmware and updated both router and satellite manually even though it was already the same version. It still said update failed on the satellite, so I turned both units off, and then turned the router on, followed by the satellite. I Manually pressed sync on the router 1st and then the satellite and after they synced, the error was gone. I think the power cycle followed by the re-sync did the trick, but you could try the whole procedure I did if that doesn't work.

        I tried that too. No luck. Still that same message on the sattelite.
