WAX220 firmware 1.0.3.5 apple instability
When I first bought my wax220 I had trouble with iPhones and iPads staying connected to 2.4g WiFi. Netgear produced firmware 1.0.3.4 and that solved the issue thankfully. I had no issues since.
Yesterday I tried upgrading to firmware 1.0.3.5 and again my iPad had issues connecting. I could see in setting that the WiFi was constantly connecting disconnecting and reconnecting
I downgraded the firmware and the issue was resolved.
other devices such as Amazon fire tv seemed to connect ok but I didn’t stay on the new firmware for that long to really test
ive seen other people complaining that 1.0.3.5 exhibits stability issues with apple devices
any advice about this? Why hasn’t a new firmware been created?
thanks

I have the same issue. 1.0.3.4 is stable, 1.0.3.5 is disconnecting apple devices
any news?
netgear support, are you monitoring this forum?
Be sure your Apple devices Mac Randomizer is disabled.
Use channesl 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz. 40, 44 or 48 on 5Ghz.
Be sure the WAX isn't experiencing any interferences with v.5 FW loaded.
Factory reset the WAX after FW v.5 is loaded.Recommend you keep v1.0.3.4 if newer FW doesn't work to resolve issues seen with the WAX220:
Make contact with NG support to report any issues you are seeing with newer FW versions:
