Rax 120-100NAS Reboot Problem
I have a RAX120-100NAS running firmware 1.2.3.28. I noticed it reboots servel times a day. What's astable firmware to use or does anyone have a solution.
I checked the reviews of Netgear routes 120, 200, 500 and they all have a rebooting problem. Thanks for your help
Good to hear. Hopefully this will be the fix. Possible that the other channel is congested with nieghboring signals and causing problems.
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.
Is there a way to see in the router or else where to see the channels being used and by who?
Most any wifi scanning or analytical app has features to see what wifi signals are being broadcast and what channesl they use. Most apps work best on pads vs phones.
Thanks for all your help but the router started to reboot again. It's going back defective today. I set up my Netgear R7000. Any suggestions on a good high end wireless router.
Darn, possible the unit was just bad from the get go.:smileyembarrassed:
Can try another 120 or maybe a RAX200. Any interest in a RAXE500? Something with 6Ghz support.

Good Luck.
- Where are the netgear-support to help us here?
About reboot problem i am almost 99% it's because of heat...
I tried to cool it down and no more reboot issue's Put a USB laptop fan under the router if you feel the router is getting too hot.
I keep one under any of my routers I have online 24/7.
- Thanks for the tip.
I might try it even if i think this is not a good solution for the fture. I've been using USB laptop fans since about 2012 under my routers. No issues and helps save router HW from heat damage over time. Cooler the HW runs the better.
- Good for you!!!
But read facts about it, all over internet / google and you'll see...
It's a good solution in short term.
