Lots of problems with RAX120
So I setup the this router 2 days ago and it's not playing nice with half of my devices so far. Many could not see the routers signal at all. I updated the drivers on devices that I could such as my P...
- Disable AX mode, and/or update to the latest firmware and you shouldn’t have any issues even with AX enabled. Since most people don’t have any AX devices, turning that feature off will be fine.
Also make sure 2.4 GHz is in 20 MHz mode by selecting one option lower in WiFi speed selection in router WiGi settings or by making sure 20/40 switching is enabled. 40 MHz can be terrible in congested environments.

- Isn't AX mode the whole point of owning this router? I also can't find out how to turn it off or any of the other modes you just described.
- Sorry wrong model number, it is the AX6000
- I haven’t issues like yours on either model. I have ax WiFi cards in all my laptops and a also a lot of non ax devices. However since you have issues I said to disable AX mode.
Unless you have ax devices ax mode won’t have any effect anyway. The option is in the router’s WiFi settings page under the “Basic” tab. In that same page you will see a connection speed selection for 2.4 and 5 GHz. On the 2.4 Ghz select on step lower than current after disabling ax mode.
Thank you, problems solved. I think the 20/40hz switch solved my biggest problems of not being able to have my devices connect.
