RAX 200 constantly being rebooted.

I have to constantly reboot my RAX 200 in order for it to recognize all the attached devices. I first noticed this when it would not print to my HP 6600. This has been the case for ~2 weeks. Could it be a flaw in a recent firmware upgrade?? I have had the RAX 200 since October 2019. I was one of the first to get this router. Let me know your thoughts.

    Can you explain what that means?

     

    Do the devices lose their wifi? Or do they just vanish from the list of attached devices and carry on working?

     

    Do the LEDs on the router offer any clues?

    Where does this come into the picture? Is it wifi connected? How do you know the printer isn't the issue? Have you tried its management software to check that?

    Hard to know, you haven't told us what firmware you are using.

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

    It will also have any firmware for your device.

    Look for the model number on the label on the device.
