RAX120 Slow Wifi Speeds
Hello I am needing some help! I have the RAX120 Nighthawk router and I have having super slow wifi speeds. For the one computer that I have hard wired the speed test shows around 39-48Mbps download w...
Looks like I'm in the same boat. I'm rebooting the router 1-2x/day currently until either there's a fix or a replacement (considering going with an Amplifi Alien).
FWIW I'm on 1.0.1.122 firmware, WMM is enabled for 2.4G and 5G.
within 8 hours of doing a factory reset my wifi speeds are 1/3 of what they were. A fresh reboot and speeds are back, but only for a few hours at a time. I'm about done with this router.
- Hey guys,
I know it’s been a minute, but give up on this router. Netgear does not care. Factory resets? Multiple firmware updates? Neutering features one your $400 router just so you can have some type of performance?
I returned this router as fast as I purchased it. Went with an Asus GT-AX11000 and have had impeccable performance. No need to have any special configurations, standing on one foot wearing a tinfoil hat. It just works.
It truly is a shame that Netgear has made absolutely 0 effort in trying to fix a very clearly broken device, and has been nothing but absent in this thread. I would expect a class action lawsuit from this type of negligence probably in the near future if Netgear can not provide a real solution. But let’s be honest here, it’s been what? 4-5 months of constant complaining and look what’s happened.
Just ditch the hardware guys. It’s really not worth it.
