Nighthawk RAX40

I have had a terrible experience with the RAX40 router, it stops working (no internet access) with varying other symptoms. The best run I have had probably lasted for 12 days. I may or may not be able to access the router (via browser), typically with any notification in the logs or any change in indication lights on the front. One instance only one band of WIFI stopped working. So far, in all cases a router boot (turn off then on) fixes it.

    Same. This router has been terrible. WiFi devices drop multiple times a day and the router needs to be rebooted every one to two days. 

     

    It is broken. We need invention from Netgear to a firmware update that fixes these issues or we need a refund.
