This new firmware completely screwed up my RAX43. It started with a reset of all my SSIDs, but I just renamed them.
The real problem was wi-fi connectivty stopped working on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. It would only stay connected for 3-4 minutes and then die. I would have to reset router, and then it would die again in another 3-4 minutes. This kept happening and I couldn't fix it.
I finally reverted firmware back to an older version and everything is working just fine now.
I have never had any issues with my RAX43 until today, when I got this new 1.0.12.120 firmware. It has some real problems.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? I recommend giving a reset and setup from scratch WITHOUT loading any saved backup configurations from file a try. And also mentioned this this post thread as well. Needs to checked before we can rule this a FW issue.
Also need to know how your wireless Basic and Advanced Settings are configured or had been configured. Possible maybe some changes in newer FW that could cause older configurations not to work right. Why a reset and setup from scratch is needed to check this.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
