Need Help with Nighthawk AX12 Router Connectivity Issues!
Hey everyone,
I've been facing frustrating connectivity problems with my Nighthawk AX12 router lately. Despite trying basic troubleshooting, my network connection keeps dropping for both work and leisure activities. Any tips or advanced steps to resolve this?
Your insights are much appreciated!
Thank You!

Which one? AX12 isn't a Netgear model number that I recognise. RAX120? RAX200?
Despite trying basic troubleshooting, my network connection keeps dropping for both work and leisure activities.What drops? The Internet connection? WiFi? Wired things?
Any clues on the LEDs?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
