New - RAX35/38/40/42/43/45/54 Firmware Version 1.0.16.132 Released
Bug Fixes: 01/05/2023
Fixes the issue where device list cannot well display all clients detail information.
Security Fixes:
This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more info...
Updated my RAX45 to the 1.0.16.132 release.
Now the router doesn't work properly. None of my mobile devices can access the internet. WiFI is off and on. While it sometimes does work the deivces (laptop) say offline.
Hard wired seem to be ok.
I have the same issue. I've attempted to apply the firmware version update using 3 different methods and the result is an unresponsive router until I restart. The upgrade never completes. Can someone explain how a reset to factor defaults will allow the new fw version to install properly or if it does fix the core problem at all? A router that does not accept security updates is, in my opinion inherently insecure and becoming more insecure. Does this process clear a storage or memory issue that then allows the latest update to install properly? What does this mean for future updates? I like the router but concerning that it could possibly be underequipped to keep up with secure firmware udpates when I have owned it for less than 2 years.
- It might help if you tell us which router model you have?
- Apologies. It's odd UX that you can designate your product in an associated products field for the posts but that information is not displayed to the community. But I am here for answers regarding my firewall and not to complain about the functionality of the forum. I have a RAX45.
I have two of these RAX45 and RAX 54 at different houses and both simple networks. Cable Modem to Router with no extenders. For both I updated through wired computer using routerlogin.net and for both the update was done but the router did not reboot and kept wifi active...connected but no internet connection. For both I had to manually reboot the router (I just unplugged and replugged in). Upon reboot both had the new firmware and worked without issues. The past updates the router rebooted without an issue but for some reason this one the reboot did not happen.
