Nighthawk Ax12 rebootin
My Nighthawk Ax12 Rax 120 is always restarting something like 4 or 5 times when I am at home. The firmware is updated. I tried to go back to factory setup but doesnt change anything.
Hi plemans - Has there been any positive feedback related to the beta firmware? I noticed that my router status doesn't populate CPU loads and other information anymore. I know it's beta and I'm willing to try anything at this point. The performance is a step above my older router... just wish it was stable.
Thanks,
I've got lots of feedback from users in PMs after they got the beta that there RAX stop rebooting. Yes there is some items missing from the debug page however that should return when NG releases next FW version. No idea when that will be though.
I've installed the beta firmware since yesterday and I'm happy to say that it hasn't rebooted yet. I'll continue to monitor and share my experience. Would be good if others posted on their experiences with beta .43-rc! Thanks again for all your contributions.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡Hey FURRYe38 , happy to report that my device hasn't rebooted since installing Beta .43-rc (3 days now). This isn't my thread so I'm not able to mark as solved. However, this has introduced another issue. My ethernet connections run off unmanaged switch (Netgear 8-Port Gigabit GS308) that connects to the RAX120v2. With version .40 my PC and PS5 previously registered at 1000/baseT, but now they are 100/baseT. My speedtests also confirm this as they would be at 900Mpbs but now are 80-90Mbps. Are there any release notes or changes that are available for .43-rc beta that I can review to see if my ethernet speed reduction is an issue?
Thanks,
