I hope this is a fix for all of us ... I can not find it on line ...but if you get the nighthawk app ...it will find the update ...
Let me know how it works for you ...

I have just 1 week left on my 45-day return policy with Best Buy for my RAX120. In desperation, I purchased a cheap ($89.00) AC router as a replacement as soon as the 5GHz radio degrades on me again. (It's been 24 hours since the last factory reset, one of many. So far so good.) I will then take that $500.00 paper-weight back to Best Buy for a full refund and just stick with the cheap AC router.
I'm hoping that Netgear, over the next week or so, will come out with a firmware update to address these issues. (I have a full 45 days from now to take the cheap AC router back if the hoped for update for the RAX120 fixes things.)
At this point, I just need my devices connected (and stable) to the Internet at the rated speed provided by my ISP. Netgear can keep all the fancy bobbles and trinkets. At this point, I don't care if they work or not. (I probably will later.) I just want consistent Internet access for my devices at speed... that's it! I'll settle.
I would take it back while you still can...
I've had my RAX80 for more than three months & theres been only 1 firmware update which didnt address any of the issues people are reporting and only change some localisation settings for Asian markets.
And before a firmware update, Netgear have to accept there is really an issue....
I replaced my €350 RAX80 with a €79 Wifi5 extender and have had no problems since.
Clearly all of the reported issues are with the firmware or hardware design of the RAX range but no sign of a fix for even some of the issues after many months.
