RAX 120 authentication issues
For some reason after a period of several hours any device that trys to logon into my wireless system gets an authenication error, the password is invalid. My firmware is V1.0.1.90. I have tried t...
I also have rax120 and have to reboot weekly because nearly 20 devices i have stop re-joining the wifi due to "incorrect password". the devices that do not drop off wifi do STAY connected with no problem. i can disconnect every device from wi-fi and try to re-join them when the router has bugged and it wont allow any of the 20+ devices to connect. its almost like the router forgets what its wifi password is. i run V1.0.1.90 but i dont know if issues started before or after the update. i also tried turning AX off. some forums users say to use a 12 charater password and turn off smart connect among other things but at this point i think its something netgear should look into due to the amount of complaints i have found from netgear fourms to even amazon reviews.
To me, this pretty obvious that its a code issue with this release of the firmware. Every morning I just reboot the router.

- Thank you Christian. I am also having this same issue and purchased my router about a week ago. It’s been working great other than this seemingly daily issue. . If you could include me in the fix, I’d really appreciate it. I don’t know if this helps, but most of my disconnects appear to be happening in the evening hours.
