Disconnection Roulette
Bought myself a RAX200 to use instead of my VM SuperHub 4 (As apparently no one in VM Tech knows how to support their own kit) on the Gig1 plan. I seem to be playing disconnect roulette with all ...
I am VERY close to driving over to BestBuy and hurling this through a window and if I was anynear where a Netgear office I would do it to them instead!!
With that said, I have been going nuts watching my Google Pixel 3 constantly connecting and disconnecting. Didn't matter if AX was on or off. If SmartConnect was on or off. Family is PISSED I keep changing settings and rebooting the networl.
While staring at the connection on my Macbook I noticed something interesting - At one point it had a IPv6 address and then it didn't and then it did again. I realized in setting up my new RAX200 (which I purchased to replace a rand new RAX120 because of the supposed increased capabilities and the Circle parental control), I turned on IPv6 - for no good reason.
Turned it off and my Pixel 3 and Macbook seem more stable - I have AX turned on along with all of the OFDMA settings, but for now still have SmartConnect turned off. I have the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands with the same SSID, but set up a new network for the High Band 5 ghz SSID - which i will use for work purposes.
So far, FINGERS CROSSED, it is working.
Not sure if this will help anyone, or if this was even the problem I was having or if it is a placebo. Again... FINGERS CROSSED. Already have to return the RAX120 to BB - Going to be pissed if I have to also return the RAX200 now.
