It will pay to factory reset after updating back to the current listed firmware just to be nice and safe.

What are the release notes for the V1.2.0.16 firmware?
Thank you.

It's not listed on the support page as I believe they have issued the wrong firmware.

Hello AX Community Users,
I can confirm that firmware v1.2.0.16 is indeed for the RAX120 and should be available on the support site soon along with the release notes. You may proceed with the update through the GUI or Nighthawk app.
Thank you for looping me in Newfiedrool

Christian_R any comment on the reports from multiple others that installing 1.2.0.16 breaks wired connections? Is there anything in the release notes about a change required after installation? I can't afford to install it and break wired connections and be unable to work tomorrow. Thank you.

The new firmware on my RAX120 no longer lets me select United States for Wireless and only options are Australia/Europe/Korea/Hong Kong/Singapore.

Did...did you read the thread?
Unless those release notes indicate that disabling the internet connection to every ethernet port was intentional, you might want to take that firmware update back to the drawing board.
I would highly recommend that anybody reading this avoids v1.2.0.16 like the plague.
- avtellaDec 17, 2020ProdigySeems like some clients like my AppleTV 4K seem to have massive latency/jitter on 2.4 GHz when the router has AX enabled, so it looks like there’s some issue with fall back to N mode. Didn’t have this issue with previous firmwares. I alway factory restore after an update so I’m confident it’s a new firmware bug.
