RAX120 Configuration and firmware
Greetings,
Does anyone have firmware ver. and configuration settings that work well all I want is screaming fast wifi with no buffering?
I have spectrum with 400Mbps.
I just purchased the RAX120 since I've been using Netgear routers for may years.
Well I have been very disappointed in the performance, I loved the initial speeds on Wifi but my devices keep disconnecting, apparently a common issue.
My initial wifi speeds were in the 450 - 460Mbps range, but streaming on wifi I get the buffering and no connection symptoms.
Could only reach a chat support person who had me make configuration changes to the router, reboot Cable modem and Router which made my speed drop down to 24Mbps.
I backed out some of the changes until I got back to 450 - 460Mbps range, but still get buffering etc.
I'm on the verge of returning.
I would truly appreciate any help.

Drop the 5ghz down to hx80 from 160 do router reboot from button see how it goes.
HT 80 from HT 160
Thank you for the suggestion I will try it this weekend when I get home.
I also noticed every morning when I check the log it says up time for the router is anywhere from 1hour to 3.x hours I don't believe it should be going down every night.
Thanks again.

- Whats the log saying so can tell if its not a isp drop from modem or a router reboot. Usual questions & answers.
Are you on the latest firmware? If so how did you upgrade did you try a pin hole reset ?
