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

Obviously, something strange is going on, whereas many are posting problems with the update while some (including me) are finding everything working very well. I agree that the lack of response by Netgear is irritating - I expect better from a company this size selling a product at a premium price. But the fact remains that it works for some users and causes severe problems for others. Without going into the things that were eliminated (i.e., disabling individual bands, adjusting power levels, shutting off each band via schedule and the auto-update issues), perhaps we should be looking at what is different among our systems.
While we may have somewhat different Orbi units, I would think that they're pretty close in their architecture. Similarly, we all have the same firmware (1.12.0.18). Yet it works for some and not for others. This tells me that the only variable left is the environment in which the other two factors (i.e., the hardware and the firmware) are being used. There is always the possibility that a device within our own network is affecting things. Understanding the plethora of networks and their affect is a major undertaking, if not impossible. But if Netgear cannot figure it out, then perhaps we can collectively identify what is different among us.
So, what is different among those for which it works and those for which it does not? As for me, I have the RBK50 bought from Costco - One RBR50 router and two RBS50 satellites. I also have two Negear Prosafe GS108Ev3 Switches (downstream of the RBR50 for Ethernet-wired devices). I have several assorted clients, including various Apple computers, Lutron Hub, Smarthings Hub, two Rokus, two AppleTV's, Acurite Weather Hub, connected TV's and DVR's, a WD NAS, Chamberlain SmartQ's, Rachio Irrigation and most importantly, a home security system and cameras (Nope – I’m not disclosing info on the last two items). I'm connected to a cable modem (Arris).
So again, my question to the users that are having issues is: What is different from what you have? Anything that could cause the rest of the system to go askew?
Dear Lord,
Wish that I could edit the previous post. Sorry for the grammatical and spelling errors. Geeze.
