RAX 120 connection issues with devices
I recently bought Nighthawk® AX12 RAX120 with firmware n V1.0.0.84. For 2 days everything/all devices connected well except for one Netgear wired camera. Today one of my Nest thermostat is not conne...
10/1 Update:
So the PCI-E AX card in my desktop connects on WiFi 6 but the connection keeps disconnecting while in use. The speeds are also in the 200 Mbps range vs anywhere near true AX levels...I thought this was going to be more reliable, faster connection. So when is the next firmware coming? I took out a 2 year warranty so I can return this router anytime if things don't improve.
Mine did a firmware update when I first installed it. It had some connection issues on the 5G network. I did the same thing I have done wth the R7000 and R7900 before it. Press and hold in the reset button on the back of the router for about ten seconds. I recommend you do this every time the firmware is updated or changed. This almost always has fixed my connection issues.
I also changed my 5G band to a clear channel in the spectrum. There was another network using the same channel that the RAX120 uses as a default. I sometimes get less than 900+ mbps but have found that rebooting my laptop and not the RAX120 fixes the problem. I think the Intel driver is at fault and hope that they fix it soon.

Thanks, I will give it a try as the first time I got the router it updated fresh to .84 but I didn't hit the reset button and ran the router like a new.
