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...
New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports ReadySHARE Printer for Orbi devices that are equipped with a USB port
- Updated the OrbiOS API to v3.14
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the iOS disconnection issue.
- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.
- Fixes the issue where IPv6 devices on the guest network can access the Orbi router’s web GUI.
- Includes security fixes for the following security vulnerabilities:
PSV-2016-0133, PSV-2017-0607, PSV-2017-0615, PSV-2017-0736, PSV-2017-2190

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.
Glad to see you're still in it with the rest of us. I have a NEW issue I will be posting in the next few days. My wife has a new Amazon Wand for scanning items and online shopping. The Wand is exclusively 2.4Ghz. It will not pickup the 2.4 network when it is GROUP under the same SSID has the 5Ghz
More testing is needed before I post next week. LOL
Yep I ran into this as well yesterday just trying things out. As soon as I beabled Implicit beamforming it killed the satallite connection. Turned off and back working again.
Just to add to the signal (and hopefully not the noise) -
I do not have beam-forming nor mu-mimo enabled, and yet I have also lost connectivity to my 2 satellites. They show up as connected devices, but not as satellites. I'll admit I haven't been actively checking out firmware revisions, but would anyone like to guess when an updated and fixed firmware might be released? I can wait a day or two, but if it's going to be weeks, I think I'll have to revert to a previous firmware and disable the auto-updates...
Thanks in advance....

Can you log in to the two satellites? If so, can you tell if other devices are connected to the satellites. If you log in to the router, you should be able to see the IP address for each satellite. Then try logging in to each one via that IP address with the same credentials for the router.
I just logged in to both satellites. From the status page image, it appears that both the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz are (Disabled), with Wireless AP off, and none too surprisingly, no devices are connected to either of them. They are both running with firmware V1.12.0.18.
