I just upgraded to firmware V1.0.6.138_1.0.76 in hopes this internet dropping is resolved

I just upgraded to firmware V1.0.6.138_1.0.76  in hopes this internet dropping is resolved.  This problem has been randomly dropping devices for some time for both wifi and direct connected devices.  I recently moved to the RAX80 in hopes this would resolve my problem especially when playing on-line with friends.  But my laptop just lost internet and I had to disconnect/reconnect to get it back.  Thanks for heading this 

 

  Any settings to improve RAX80 with multiple connected wifi and direct devices would be appreciated.

  • What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch. I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.

     

    What CAT# LAN cable are you using between the ISP modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
