New Rax80 MAJOR Problems!!
Hi! Just bouth the new Rax80 and set it up this friday with latest software. I have major problems. The Iphones loses internet, they detect the network and have full coverage but internet doesn't wor...
I need some help here on this. I have the same problem with my router. The WiFi crapped out. I can't even log into the router as it times out. This just started 2 days ago. The router functions on the wired Ethernet side only, as that is how I'm able to submit this response. I just updated the latest firmware in the past month or so and I don't recall what version it is. I can ping the router, but like I said I can't get into the GUI to do anything. Pressing the WiFi button on the top of the unit does nothing. I've had this thing maybe 6 months, I can't beleive that it crapped out already.
Thoughts???

There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.By all means link to this discussion.But if you do start your own thread, please provide some of the details requested in earlier messages. Your modem, for example.

I agree. So, let's start from scratch.
- Same. iPhone will not stay connected. Has worked with every router I have owned except this out of free coverage junk. Netgear CM1000 to RAX80 to devices. Every device struggles to stay connected (android phones, windows laptop, Mac laptop, and iPhones). They will constantly drop, have slow speed, poor coverage in a small apartment and when it tries to reconnect it will say password is invalid. Tonight so bad I am using the open xfinity WiFi of a neighbor. Total overpriced garbage and I can’t do anything with it I am stuck with it
Problems is Right! Paying Beta Testers huh? my first issue was \\Readyshare devices after my 3rd solution I completely lost internet, just after removing all the windows updates from the past 48 hours. Reinstalled the updates with the new router in place not old that seem to resolve the USB devices in Readyshare able to map network drive now. Next I could not get see the device nor the wifi on. I found that I have an Intel 7260 wifi that shuts of wifi intermittenly with the latest driver version 18.x. I did a roll back to 17.x and It's working great now. If I get a couple days stable then I'm happy, good luck.
