RAX120 or Rax200
Hi all, I’m at a loss and need some advice. Current situation: we’re a busy 4 bed 2 storey house, there’s 5 of us, kids all streaming YouTube, we’ve got Google devices in every room, Amazon fire...
- RAX120. It's a Qualcomm device with hardware acceleration (RAX200 has software one). In case the RAX120 get too hot, place a fan or laptop cooler underneat it.. Though it has a built-in fan, that doesn't always kick in.
Sorry to hear about that. I unfortunately missed the Amazon return window and am now stuck with an expensive but unusable router. I've since purchased a TP-Link AXE75 and it has been rock solid.
Also, based on posts from those afflicted by the RAX120v2 random reboot issue...none of the suggested workarounds have worked long term. Including flashing the latest fw and setting up from scratch, placing the router on top of a cooling fan, replacing the power plug, and whatever else has been suggested. If the unit is afflicted by the random reboots it's best to send it back asap as you intend to do.
muniz_ri I feel for you I really do, to spend all that money and be left with such a fundamental problem is dreadful and NG's response to those suffering seems lack lustre, which is poor by any companies standards these days. I'll let you know how I get on with the RAX200 but I do hope they find a fix for the 120, it had all the hallmarks of a great router, there's just something fundamentally wrong somewhere.
