RAX120 not playing nice with new Samsung Galaxy S10
Just received the phone and it simply won't connect to the network unless I set a static IP on the phone. When it manages to connect with the static IP, speeds are abysmal at 100 mbit or under (link ...
- That is correct, AX is enabled and working with S10 plus.
netgear... And for that reason i'm sending back the AX120 router. Tired of spending countless hours on providing feedback and research for a company that could careless of the communities tireless efforts to make their product better. Only to be met with ridiculous excuses and no insights to what they already know or don't know to resolve any issue. The one clear piece is that Netgear has gotten more and more greedy as the products used to be sent out for beta testing. Now.. They have you pay to provide beta testing and people, including myself were willing to do so in order to advance the products. Netgear get off your duffs and engage with the community as a whole before its gone and you loose the most valuable piece you have. Off my soap box. My apologies if you take this any other way other than to be push for more engagement..
blackhawkpr give a try to enable AX again after updating the RAX120 to 1.0.0.84 and access with your Sammy S10 - you migth want to mark the above post by davecar as a solution then.
I am running firmware revision 1.0.1.56_1.0.23 on my RAX80 and I am still having the issue even with AX turned off.
Any thoughts
Don't know since I don't have that modem, but if you can change to 160H or a DFS channel if it is available.

Subject does say RAX120 - as of writing the problem is resolved and should be marked accordingly (and closed).
The RAX80 does make use of a complete different SoC platform. Create a new or follow up on RAX80 specific thread.
For those expecting magical things from 802.11ax and the Samsung S10 - a tester in Germany showed (based on the Asus RT-AX88U - same chipset like the RAX120) that the only performance advantage does come from the availability of 1024QAM - what the Broadcom chipset on the router side does offer in both 802.11ac and 802.11ax. Without 1024QAM, the advantage of 802.11ax is about 25% - the same 25% the suppliers promoted on the 802.11ac Broadcom routers supporting "NitroQAM".
