RAX120 drop internet, comes back after reboot
Hi all. I have a RAX120 v1 router, its been fine for over 2 years. Lately, my internet seems to die. Wifi connected, without internet access. I reboot the ONT and same issue persists, then I reboot t...
Can you try channel 1 and 40 if there not busy?
Also set 40Mhz only on 2.4Ghz.
I would enable beamforming and MIMO features under Advanced/Wireless settings as well.
What devices do you have all connected to the router?
Does both wireless and wired connection see issues or just wifi?
I don't have any wired clients at the moment.
Checked with a WiFi analyser app just now. My 5ghz network had a hidden network that is quite strong overlapping on chan 44. So presume changing to 40 will mitigate this? I have captured a pic of the 2.4 range near me. My network is SKYNET. Quite busy on that also near me. So changing that to 1 looks like it may help ?
Thanks

Yes, lets go to 1 and 40.
Might also try lowering the power from 100% to 50% and see how it runs as well. Helps to lessen the wifi interferences from other wifi nieghbors. Power is either under basic wireless settings or advanced/wireless settings.
