RAX 40 wifi connection drop and private ethernet ip on laptop

I don't know how applicable this will be to you, since I'm using my RAX40 in AP mode. But I had the same problem. Firmware: V1.0.3.88_1.0.1 OS: Windows 10 I googled and googled (and googled) and one solution I'm testing that seems to be working is to set the security for the network on Windows itself to match the security on the RAX40 AND (optional) set the security of all your routers/APs to match the RAX40. For me, this wasn't a huge problem until 1.) I bought my new laptop three weeks ago and as it turns out, it was pre-set to WPA3 for wireless, 2.) I upgraded the RAX40 firmware due to the dropping issue. This is the Shock and Awe Version: it worked so I'm hitting all the steps. 1.) For Windows: Network and Sharing Center, right click on Connections, select Wireless Properties, Security tab: WPA2 and AES. This should, in theory, stick long enough to do the rest. I know the drop/refuse issue makes this difficult, so if you can't get the connection, proceed to Step 2 2) Delete all known networks (Settings/Network and Internet/Status) 3.) Go into the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles and delete all your profiles. 4.) Restart This starts you (relatively) tabula rasa for your wireless network. Now connect to RAX40 router and it should connect and stick. If you have multiple APs, either turn them off or temporarily change their SSID so you can be sure you get the RAX40 on the first try. 5.) Try number one again. At leas the first time, you should be able to get in and fix the security. There has to be a universal way to change the default for all wifi, but I haven't really looked yet. The other option is to temporarily kill security on the RAX40, then go in and switch the wifi in Windows to WPA2, then go back to the RAX40 and set the security again.
