New - RAX120v1 and RAX120v2 Firmware Version 1.2.9.52 Released
This came in via Auto update today on my v2. This is for v1's as well.
Installed the update using auto update, then power cycled OFF then back ON then factory reset and setup from scratch. Mines in...
So I tested my RAX120v2.
1. Connected behind a Orbi 970 with a 10Gb LAN Port.2. Connected behind a SXR30 Pro with NG GS-108 1Gb 8-port switch in between.
1 6ft CAT6 UTP cable connecting the RAX120 to it's source device while in AP mode.
1Gb Windows 10x64 PC
First test is with RAX in AP mode connected with it's MG port to the Orbi 970 10Gb LAN port and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 LAN port in back. RAX was first set up in router mode and it's Internet port section there set to the 5GB Internet port and applied. Then AP mode was configured for static IP and the configuration applied:
Wired PC connected to LAN 4 port.
Second test is with the RAX in AP mode with it's INTERNET port connected to the NG GS-108 swithch connected behind Orbi SXR30 router and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 LAN port in back. RAX was first set up in router mode and it's Internet port section there set to the Main Internet port and applied. Then AP mode was configured for static IP and the configuration applied:
Wired PC connected to LAN 4 port.
Third test is with the RAX in AP mode with it's INTERNET port connected to the NG GS-108 switch connected behind Orbi SXR30 router and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 MG Port:
Wired PC connected to the MG port.
Throughout all testing configurations above, I never saw any speed results below 900Mbps for the DOWN and 50Mpbs for the UP while the RAX120 was in AP mode.
Firmware 1.2.9.52 causes the same random reboot issue I had with this router out the box.
I re-installed firmware RAX120-V1.2.8.43-rc and turned off auto-update this time. It is the only firmware version that fixes the random reboot issue for me.
Would need to know more to better determine what that mysterious reboot was.
What all features is enabled and CPU and memory usages need to be checked.
NG directly fixed a reboot issue that users were seeing with older versions of FW. I ran v.52 on my v2 and never saw this after FW was loaded. Factory reset and setup from scratch is recommended after v.52 is loaded.
