1.0.1.64_1.0.27 firmware update
Hi, My RAX80 is showing 1.0.1.64_1.0.27 firmware as being available for update (from 1.0.1.62) but I can't find any release notes or futher info anywhere. Does anyone have any more info? Than...
Has anyone actually managed to upgrade?
I kept getting the GUI Language file cannot be upgraded.
I was able to upgrade successfully. The LAN / WAN devices still disconnect at random but I was told by another user to turn MU-MIMO off and that resolves the issue. Testing it out now

Even with MU-MIMO disabled the WAN / LAN still randomly disconnect / reconnect throughout the day with this latest firmware. This bug was first introduced in the 1.0.1.58 firmware. Back to 1.0.1.56 I go.
Actually, I realised you must be having the same problem I'm having - I am having problem where I cannot see my Apple devices and printers, but strangely, I can access other computers on the network, and Alexa and Hue lights seems to be working.
That's why I have currently disabled my wifi on the RAX80 and using an old R8000 for wifi - until Netgear fixes the problem.
This is really the worst router (Netgear or not) I've ever own.
It took a few goes - the 'update' button just didn't work. But with many issues with the firmware it is not worth the money, as it's poorly tested.
