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...
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.
Agreed. If they did any decent testing they would have discovered how crappy the thing is. Even the web interface does not work with Safari.
It keeps losing the settings, e.g. the timezone keeps resetting to GMT+0, traffic meter gets turned off, wifi gets turned on after I've turned it off, port forwarding list entries disappear.
How could they release something this buggy?
