New RAX200 firmware 1.0.3.102_1.0.56. ???
Netgear may have made a mistake in pushing out firmware 1.0.3.102_1.0.56 for the RAX200 router. This firmware is not listed on the Netgear Support site. This firmware is showing as an download on...
Apparently my other post didn't save, so appologies if this is a duplicate..
Good Find! The firmware is listed on the download page and the file as 1.0.2.102. not 1.0.**3**.102...however when loading it, the Router does indeed show 1.0.3.102 .
The release notes are here: https://kb.netgear.com/000062406
Christian_R is it possible you can help more insight into the version number details? Looks like either the actual firmware or the release page and download pages are in error?
Hello,
After finding the problems with 1.0.3.102_1.0.56 firmware, I tried to resolve the issues by
* Rebooted several times
* Using a paper clip to hold the reset button for 10 seconds then re-setup the router
* Using a paper clip to hold the reset button for 120 seconds then re-setup the router
Problems included the device list having a category (null) for items that should be coded to one of the three wifi bands. More than half the devices on the network were not showing. With my family working and going to school from home, these problems and my trouble shooting was very disruptive.
I checked again today. The support website (https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RAX200.aspx#download ) only lists the older 1.0.2.102 firmware. The Nighthawk app and router page show the 1.0.3.102 firmware.
Searching the internet seems to show that 1.0.3.102 may be for the RAX80, but this could be a coincidence.
Wow, I need to adjust my prior post...After updating to 1.0.2.102 literally right after the router updated to 1.0.3.102 ...never got to experience 1.0.2.102...very unusual!
Looking at the device console log, it does look like the firmware is indeed intended for the RAX200, showing an excerpt from that:

You can verify yourself by going to: http://IP-of-Router/debug.htm. (for example: http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm ) .
Then save debug log, unzip it, and open up the console_log file with a text editor (Notepad for example) and search for the version number 1.0.3.102 .
It appears Netgear's release process is just all over the place. From your screenshot, I'm hopeful this sneaky update at least reduces Netgear Armor issues....will need to see what they say.
Also regarding the Device List, mine is still fine on 1.0.3.102. See attached screenshot showing device categories as well as the firmware version and device model....
I can confirm that the latest firmware 1.0.3.102 for the RAX200 is now available for download through the Netgear website and having upgraded to this on my RAX200, it works well.
