RAX120 does not work with AX200 160Mhz
When will this be fixed? I have been patient, waiting for this to be fixed in a router firmware update, but how much longer do we have to wait? I bought this router thinking that it would be compatib...
I never had a good experience with WiFi on mainboard. I tried AC9260, and then AX200 on Asrock Taichi Z370. They never worked as expected, as least with Netgear R8500, and now with Netgear RAX120. However, all AX200 clients on my laptops worked very well. Never saw a single issue of connectivity. The only issue was speed performance, which was later resolved by switching to an older driver from Intel.
- The AX200 do not have connectivity issues -just the speed drop issue where it drops to less than 1% of normal speeds. You don’t see the speed drop right away - usually takes about 2 hours - sometimes more.
If you are having to use an older driver , are you even able to get the 500-600Mbps speeds that you would normally get? If not then I don’t see a point in using an ancient driver.Yes it can still achieve 900Mbps.

- I’ll try the 21.20.0.5 Driver you recommend for AX200 and report back.

Johnyman has come up with something that I was rummaging around for in my memory. (See earlier reference to Intel.) Several people had trouble in the early days of this technology and fixed it by playing around with Intel drivers.

Maybe we are seeing another case of motherboard makers not delivering drivers that are best obtained from the chipset supplier.
