rax120 dropping connection speed until reboot
I recently purchased the RAX120 and it has been working fine for a day or so and then it drops speed to below 30Mbps. I have a gigabit connection plan from my ISP and normally get 800+ Mbps and once ...

Try disabling port aggregation and just going single port from the cm1200 to the rax120. it wouldn't be the first time this setup caused issues or slowdowns. You're only getting 800mbps and the rax120 should hit around that 940mbps (ish) if you're hitting full speeds.

Plemans,
Thanks for the reply!
I have disabled the port agrregation on both the cm1200 and rax120, and reboot each of them for a fresh start. I will update here if the issue persists in the next day or 2. As for the top speed of my setup, I do get 800+ mbps and it usually hovers between 800-900 mbps, so I am not too worried about that. My main issue is it dropping to 10 - 30mbps, which does not seem like it should be happening, as well as it taking a reboot of the router or modem to get back to my top speeds.

Hopefully its just a bug with the port aggregation and that it stays working for you.
