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...

The ironic part is 2-3 times now I've had stable beta firmware then a new official release is avaialble and the system auto updates and breaks everything.  And yes I have done a factory reset each time and had all devices "forget" and re-join network.  I was inituially drwan to the Orbi because of the dedicated backhaul band between the router and sateliite but now care less about that and just want a stable connection.  Shameful Netgear has not jumped in on this.  My v1.11.0.8 beta firmware went almost a month stable and if I get have that back and not auto update I think I'd be fine.  I did a factory reset to try and re-load this beta firmware as I saved the files but again system always reverts to newest firmware.  Crazy!

Ok I am a little blown away that we are on 257 replies and,nothing from Netgear. If you look at Amazon for the RBK40 they are beginning to see the repercussions for the la k of support. It will bite them in the ass in the end, you can't have so many screaming for help and nothi g is done
