Dammann, have you confirmed that WMM is enabled on the RAX120 (ADVANCED | Setup | QoS Setup | Enable WMM settings (2.4GHz))?

      Also running a RAX 120 w/ V1.0.1.118.

       

      I will see the connection start w/ 2.4G connectivity, and slowly degrade to 280Mb over time.  This firmware has serious problems.

       

      Netgear when will you be addressing this?  We need a stable firmware that offers consistent speeds.
