new night hawk RAX80 keeps dropping wired and wireless connections
New Nighthawk AX80 firmware:1.0.1.64_1.0.27 keeps dropping wired connections and wireless connections. I've had to reboot the router several times in the last week. This happens at random intervals...

Sounds like exactly the same problem I’ve been having for a few weeks now. Resetting nearly every night to reconnect smart TVs and tablets. Sometimes they’ll say connected with no internet, when other devices clearly have internet over the same WiFi

I'm experiencing exactly the same. I found that by simply rebooting the dropped device, it'll come back fine. BUT, that's a pain, I have to do it on a daily bases. I have not had a wired device drop yet, just wireless.
I also notice, there are NO solution posts to this problem. Sad!

I agree with plemans
1. Factory Reset
2. Upgrade FW via hardwire cable
3. Factory Reset again
4. Enter all settings manually
- JimTheGreekApr 11, 2020TutorThanks for the reply. I’m in the process as we “speak”. What I found is even though my router was on old FW, it kept telling me it’s current! So I manually updated it. Note I’m about to do the second factory reset!
Any ideas why it doesn’t see it’s outdated?
