Hi,

I was wondering if there is any progress on this matter?

Or should I just bin my wac120's and buy something else?

Getting a bit tired of finding lots of posts/forums with the same problems but no solutions whatsoever..

Hi Sascha,

Don't bin them. I heard netgear team is working on this seriously. We will get an update soon. Meanwhile just add a script reboot the AP at midnight automatically. I can send the script to you if you need.

Just joined the forum to chip in and say I have exactly the same issue. WAC120 on fw 2.07 and experience extreme slowdown on a number of devices over the course of a few days. Rebooting sorts it for another few days. Extremely frustrating and I'm considering buying something else...

A reboot script would be handy.

  Hi,
  
  I shall come with a script that will do something better than a total reboot at midnight. Busy right now. Will come up with something by mid next week. This should work until netgear comes up with a serious fix.
  I will publish it once I get it tested.

    I just got an update that a fix for this issue will be released as a new maintenance firmware for the WAC120 . Its scheduled to be released in the 2nd quarter of 2017.
