RAX120 Firmware 1.0.1.128
A firmware update (see here) is now available for the RAX120:
New Features and Enhancements
- Supports the ISP profile menu, which includes ISPs from Europe and Asia
- Supports Orange France IPTV
- Supports Singapore Singtel IPTV
- Supports the time zone auto detection feature
Bug Fixes
- Improves the stability of NETGEAR Armor
- Fixes the issue where the router is unable to access the USB device using the ReadyCLOUD portal
- Fixes the issue where the Nighthawk app does not display devices in attached device list
- Fixes some minor issues in the router web interface
Security Fixes
- Fixes security vulnerability issues
Note that, at present, the router does not automatically detect the availability of the update (ADANCED | Admnistration | Firmware Update), which must be manually downloaded and installed.
P.S.: Kudos to perigee, who first noticed the availability of the update (see message 217 in this thread).

Hi Topology,
Thanks for sharing for others to view!

FYI: The RAX120 firmware 1.0.1.128 appears to be stable, with no issues observed to-date after one week of use.
Hi Topology,
Assuming you performed a factory reset as well. Did you restore your settings manually or from a settings backup?
In some previous post others have suggested not restoring from a backup, otherwise it could reintroduce problems.
Please advise.
-Thanks.
I just upgraded the firmware to 1.0.1.128 and ReadyCLOUD seems to be working for me via internet (http://readycloud.netgear.com/). Initially, it did not work. I reviewed all settings, unregistered the router, re-registered it, but it still did not work. It kept showing the RAX120 with older firmware version and kept throwing a long string of number in the error message after I tried to access the storage. So I just started reviewing all settings. I am very sure that I did not change any setting except turn off the media server. Then suddenly the ReadyCLOUD access from internet started to work. Now it is showing the correct firmware version. It is vey weird. Android app also works fine. I had to logout and log back in.
I used the web GUI to upgrade the firmware and did not do any factory reset. Router is running in AP mode.

Disabling "Media Server" worked for me as well. ReadyCloud has NEVER been solid and completely stopped working (Web interface) on the .122 firmware. Upgrading to .128 isn't going to automatically get it back. Un-registering and re-registering didn't help. I HAD to disable "Media Server."
Microsoft managed to break ReadyCLOUD on PCs with one of its Windows updates.
Netgear updated the ReadyCLOUD to 1.20, which fixed it.
But, as you say, ReadyCLOUD isn't the most solid operation.
