Nighthawk RAX80 very unstable - losing connections
Hi all, I've bought the RAX80 six weeks ago and it's been very unstable since then: - devices losing wifi connections - devices not seeing the wifi network - RAX80 losing internet connection (...
If you don't want to try the downgrade, then you can try reinstalling the firmware incase something is corrupt.
I'd try the downgrade as the rax devices have been getting fairly frequent updates. but its up to you
OK, I reinstalled the firmware. We'll see what's happening now.
On a sidenote: I noticed (again now) that RAX80 messes up the names of the connected devices (in the webinterface and the app). After editing and renaming the devices this seems solved. Don't know if it's related to the connection problems but it's kind of sloppy.
Little update:
Devices are seeing the wifi network till now and internet connection hasn't been lost for the last couple of days but devices sometimes lose connection with Teams and Citrix.
In some cases there seems to be an automatic reconnection in other cases I have to reconnect manually. In one case there seemed to be a switch from 2,4 GHZ to 5 GHZ. Is it normal some devices get an IP address via DHCP four times an hour?
