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...
I've just picked up one of these today and right out the box the 5ghz won't work. Has a red light on the advanced setting and won't let me enable it. This is with smart setup on or off. Seems like a very problematic router
Have you factory reset it after it updated its firmware? 1.2.0.16 really needs that reset, if not try it, but if you have done that (it only takes a few minutes) its probably hardware, so not so much a troublesome router just bad luck if it is. Mine has been fine apart from a buggy QoS in the current firmware is bugged and is also basic, no dynamic QoS on this unit.
I hope you can factory reset the router and get it working or just exchange it. Also be aware a newer Revision 2 unit is coming out soon that will do up stream MU-MiIMO and UL OFDMA as well as TWT and BSS, the original unit canot do UL OFDMA or Upload MU-MIMO, so if you have not got a revison 2 (It will say on the box and it does 160Mhz not 80+80) then maybe wait for new stock.- Hi there, thanks for replying. I actually factory reset it via the pin last night and it's now working as expected. Seems I have the v1 but I got it at a steal and I don't think the v2 will benefit me yet.
Thanks
