I've had my RAX120 since February and am having the same issues.  My wired Windows 10 PC usually takes a minute or so to connect the first time i use it each day (or after it's been sitting for several hours).  My iPad and iPhone 11 have the same issue--it takes a minute to connect the first time i use them each day.  I've mostly kept up on firmware, now running V1.0.1.122 (and now see that V1.0.1.128 is available).  I've not been able to find much information out there on this problem.

 

Before i got the RAX120, I tried the Netgear R8000P AC4000 Wi-Fi router.  I didn't use it long enough to notice the delayed connection on the wireless network but my wired PC had the same symptom.  I never had these issues with my previous wireless routers: Apple AirPort Time Capsule (802.11ac) and Linksys E4200V (N900).

 

Thanks to Manazir  for posting on this problem.  He did a lot more troubleshooting than i have.
