Nighthawk RAX40
I am so frustrated I don't even know what to do. I purchased this router in January hoping to improve the wifi in my home from the momdem/router combo my ISP was leasing me. I had previously trusted ...
New firmware update today: 1.0.3.80
No change log from Netgear yet.
I have noticed a couple new features/options:
- Enable Smart Connect - Let the router intelligently select the best 2.4 GHz or 5GHz WiFi band for your WiFi connections (it continues on)
- Now supports WPA3-Personal
So far so good. Remaining hopeful. Curious how others experience is.
Also, plemans said disable AX? Lol at that. If I didn't want AX I would've saved money and bought a router that didn't have it. Disabling a core advertised feature is not a solution. Also to you, don't jump on other people's threads? I think this could be an exception where we all have at the same exact issue to discuss about the same exact device. Why would we split that between multiple threads?
Come back ronald_fr! Let's get tegether and get this sorted out and get some real solutions from Netgear (supposing this new firmware hasn't fixed it).
Hello,
Back after a couple of weeks... In the meantime my RAX40 has been exchanged because it's various hangs. It seems better than the previous, no more hangs, I only have the iPhone 11 issue with 5GHz WiFi channel (Intel is working on this).
iPhone 11 is configured to use only 2.4 GHz (until issue fixed).
The new firmware (1.0.3.80) is not yet available here... To be used asap.
Best regards
Ron
