Has Netgear removed firmware 1.0.1.90?

I do not see firmware 1.0.1.90 for download for RAX120. Has Netgear removed it? All I see is 1.0.0.84.

Thanks,

Arun

    I see that too.  Im not haveing any wifi issues with 1.0.1.90.  Should I downgrade it to 1.0.0.84 or stay at  the 1.0.1.90?

     

    I know there is an issue with selecting the WAN port to 5g.  It will rebot your router in bridge mode and lock you out.

     

    Any help will be nice.

      I was having problems with the AX200 with 1.0.1.90 as well. The speed would randomly go to a crawl.  Disconnecting and reconnecting fixed it for another random period of time.

      In looking for a revised firmware I too found 1.0.1.90 was gone.  I downgraded to 1.0.0.84 and my AX200 random speed drop problem has been fixed.

       

      Up until I upgraded my client to an AX200 this firmware was working fine as far as I could tell.

      I also tried the Killer ax1650 card with the same symptoms with the 1.0.1.90 firmware.

    Hello Nighthawk AX Community, 

     

    We have removed the the following firmware version off our support site. We currently have a trial firmware for the RAX120 and if you're interested, please send me a message.

      No thanks, I will pass. Stability is extremely important to me. All my security cameras and alarm system and TVs and phones and laptops are connected via WiFi. In one year, typically 50TB of WiFi data passes through the router. Cannot have instability. 1.0.1.90 was really bad firmware. Glad that it was removed.

        If stability is key, unfortunately probably not best to get a new model (regardless of brand) so soon after release especially with a new WiFi standard that’s only now getting a final draft specification, so not everything maybe supported in earlier draft version based devices like this one. To top it off it takes a while for firmware to stabilize as some of the issues also need to be fixed by the actual chipset manufacturers themselves. Basically early adopters are paying to be testers.

      Should we downgrade? I’m not really have any issues with got 90.

      I wouldn’t mind trying the beta firmware. If it doesn’t brick the router.

        if 1.90 work for you with no problem just keep it 

        for me i had a problem with one wifi card that was dropping speed connection every 2H 

        in 0.84 the drops still happened but less frequently like every 5H

        i am on 1.97 from this morning untill now there were 0 drops so far 

        you should wait for next stable to be on the safe said
