RAX120 constantly dropping WiFi until reset
I have had the RAX120 for about 7 months now with no issues. I started working from home three days ago with no issues. Then yesterday and today all day my router would stay connected but lose Interne...
If I might enquire ... what was the version number of the firmware update? My issues started pretty much right after I used the Nighthawk App to upgrade to version V1.0.1.122.
I know this doesn't help in resolving the issue, but I upgraded from .118 to .122 using the app. It was flawless. The router (RAX120) has also been flawless. There are a couple of quirks now with the app such as I can't change the icon on some of my connected devices. The app wants to label my DirecTV boxes as desktop computers. Then when I check again on another day, it's something different. It gives me an error if I try and change the icon. (The names I've selected for all of my devices are unaffected, its just the icons.)
Months ago I was in the same boat as everyone else. I finally got it stable on .114. I then had issues initially with .118 and I did multiple pin-hole resets and eventually got it solid. I then upgraded to .122 and that has also been solid.
So I'm not letting Netgear off the hook. There have just been too many issues, issues I've experienced myself. But at some point, for me anyway, they all just went away once I got .118 solid. No major issues since with the router with the exception of ReadyCloud. If you don't care about ReadyCloud then it doesn't matter.
