Netgear Support updated my AX8/RAX75 to the new .88 firmware because we had several malfunctions on my router with the .76 release.
After 2 hours of remote screen sharing, updating, resetting, testing, uploading screenshots and logfiles, the 2nd tier support technician had run into so many problems, that we downgraded to .64 again. Problems with the new release included total loss of admin connections from iOS devices, frequent loss of admin connection from Windows10 Pcs (both wireless and ethernet), the router not recognizing attached USB devices correctly, Readyshare folders deleted at reboot etc.

I spoke with a tech this weekend and explained how 1.0.1.64 has been the most stable for me. I also explained how that version of the firmware is missing from the downloads section for the RAX80. Hopefully, they get this straightened out.
