Netgear support authorized a warranty replacement after concluding my 2nd router has a hardware fault. So I expect to setup a 3rd RAX80 soon when it arrives by uploading a saved configuration file.

Did you use the new power adapter that came with the replacement router? I ask because I've seen power adapters used for other devices go bad, making it seem as if the problem was with the router when in fact it was a bad power adapter.
