Ok 5-23 I decided to have another go at 6.138 and this are my findings in my case:
did the upgrade and then factory reset, after that turn of and unplugged the router and modem and turn off PC
turn on following the procedure posted before and everything seem to be working fine until I activated the DDNS service and the VPN service, that's when it went back to could connect but no internet. I usually configured the VPN to access local network only but for some reason it blocks the whole router internet connectivity, configured to allow local network and internet and voila everything is working fine. another thin worth noting is that under Advanced- Security- schedule for some reason everything is selected to block connection for everyday 24hours I unchecked all of them and so far everything is working flawless
Since updating my router's firmware to RAX80 Firmware Version 1.0.6.138. My download speed has dropped from 300 to 400mbs to 20mbs via Wifi. Download and Upload speeds coming from the modem are where they're supposed to be at.
I use the Wifi on a iMac but the issue arrives when I use bootcamp to run Windows because gaming is a hobby of mine. Prior to the update, the Download speed was fine.
I reverted back to the previous firmware and the issue resolved itself but, I am curious and would love to update the firmware if I can get around the issue of download speed tanking after updating.
I would love some help or any ideas because I prefer to have the updated security from the firmware.
Thanks!
Any progress on this?
