I searched the Internet and the forum for information about the firmware but didn't see anything, probably because it just go released. Looks like some significant feature changes, like support for daisy-chain topology. It's not fully mesh but looks like a significant step towards it.
I can't be the guinea pig during work hours and I don't think I have time tonight but I thought I would start the discussion thread for anyone who wants to provide feedback after taking the leap.
New to Orbi so not sure if this firmware is specific to the model but I just got the RBK40 up and running yesterday (still debating about switching to RBK50).
Release notes as follows:
| Current Version: | V1.12.0.20 |
