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...

How hard is it to downgrade?  I am tired of MacBook Pro switching to the 2.4 GHz from the GHz network.  I would like to turn off the 2.4 GHz radio.

I would also like them to add a feature where you can say this MAC address can only connect to this radio.

I am not impressed with their test team.  The conversations I have had with them they said they only had two Macs for their testing.

Easy. Just download the firmware you want and use the manual update feature. Do your sattelite first to be on the safe side, though I had no issues with downgrading the router first. Once you've been downgraded the firmware will no longer auto-update, though you will get a notification.
