Any issues with the new firmware?
Yes, I had the RAX120 with 1.0.1.108 freeze up on me when attempting to connect via wireless with my MacBook 15". I powered off, turned off AX and connected back ok. Was working all day without issue up until that point. All devices lost connection when I attempted with the laptop. Never had any issues like that previously.
After flashing 1.0.1.108 I did a hard reset before I started using it this morning. AX was on and OFDMA was on for 5GHz network that the laptop was connecting to.

See any updated Driver for your Wireless Network Card? I didn't experience any issue so far...
macOS is up to date on my 2018 MacBook 15" with Catalina. It started that I could not authenticate with wireless password (even though it hadn't changed) and then the whole network stopped working. Could not connect via wired from my other device (PC) to 10.0.0.1 to check on the device status, so had to reset.
- I’ve had loss of Internet connectivity and massive ping spikes minutes before that happens. This with an Intel AX200 client and also an iPhone 8 Plus. I found it far more stable with all AX features disabled. Currently working with NG to solve the issue.
Update: Currently working with MacBook now on 5GHz with AX enabled, OFDMA enabled on both bands (prev only 5GHz), disable PMF checked. No logs unfortunately. Will see how it goes.

I have this exact same issue with every version of firmware (even the current RAX120-V1.0.1.118_BETA.
It was driving me nuts (I even purchased a new RAX120 thinking my old one was defecrtive) until I found this post.
Any solutions other than turning off AX?
Nice to know theres a way to use the router without constant reboots (sad that AX is responsible).- Sounds like you need to update to the latest firmware, and then reset. Be sure to save your configuration file before you do the reset, to make it much quicker and easier after the reset.

I've also tried it with the latest release (RAX120-V1.0.1.114) with no luck.
