Firmware auto update not working on RAX200
As per title, it seems if you tick/check the 'enable' setting for 'Router Auto Firmware Update' on the RAX200, it doesn't do anything and you still have to manually update the firmware. I know this a...
Thanks, appreciate what you're saying but i've never bricked a router by leaving it to update firmware automatically. But of course YMMV.
The fact that the latest firmware (1.0.1.12) for the RAX200 has been out for 3-4 weeks now and yet the update servers still aren't pushing this automatically to the RAX200 (assuming auto update is enabled) leads me to believe its a firmware bug. Can someone from Netgear please explain?
Thanks.
seriously turn it of and just update the firmware yourself, these AX routers also need a factory reset after the updates too otherwise they get a bit screwy as new features are added and they try until they stabilise them. Auto update is really auto brick on AX routers, and I would never leave a router to manage its own updates anyway, things can go south very quickly with Netgear routers and the RAX200 is based on the RAX80 Broadcom SoC which is a nightmare in itself, its not worth leaving it on it considering the price you paid.
