Hello DanielDeep360,
Welcome to the community! Would you mind providing me with the firmware version your router is currently on? I have included the release notes of the latest firmware version below. Also, does the issue occur on all wireless devices in your home or only to a few?

I would also suggest that you start a new topic with your model number and the issue(s) you're experiencing as you have commented on a community thread that is relating to a RAX120.
Best,

Same problem came up again after installing most current firmware a few days ago. Having to reboot to allow the defined WPA2 password to log into Wi-Fi. I am definitely disabling auto-updates. Can’t trust firmware releases anymore. As I am standing here rebooting the router for the 5th time in 3 days, no I don’t have the firmware version number. It’s whatever was available as most current earlier this afternoon when I checked to see if a newer fix was released.
This is **bleep** and Netgear, you know it. We aren’t your beta testers. We paid a lot for this router.

I too am having issues. My router did an auto update to the newest firmware and I'm having connection issues. I'm finding my Wi-Fi devices are connected but I have no communication or Internet. Restarting the router solves this problem. I am not happy that Netgear keep putting bugs in there firmware. Hay Netgear I thought you guys do this kind of network stuff? I going to take it off auto update and put the old hot fix back in. Get with it Netgear.
No issues here, tbh letting it auto update is not the best thing to do, manually update then factor reset. You have to remember these are bleeding edge routers, so a factory reset is really worth it. I would suggest turning auto update off too, and check once a week manually. Also dont update using the Nighhawk app, as some have had issues that way, its best to update via the GUI though a wired connection. My routers been up since the release of 1.0.1.114 and I'm not seeing the issues you have, the only thing I can think of is I factory reset the router. Rebooting it is not enough. Hope that helps.
- Updated to 1.0.1.118 via the app. Went well.
- Also since the Hotfix there has been 1.0.1.108 and now 1.0.1.114, also soon a new Hotfix will be incoming for a TLS certificate vulnerability. I would definitely factory reset your router. As I said I have 20 wireless devices and no issues like yours.
