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...
Horrible router. I have better speeds with the modem/router from Comcast . I pay for 1tb speeds and with this router, I’m lucky to break 50mb. 5g on my cell phone tests faster. A lot of money wasted for a paper weight.
Try the new 1.0.1.128 firmware, no official mention of fixes for DNS or slow down issues in the changelog but sometimes they don't mention some fixes even if included so maybe worth a shot....

- Appreciate your response but I already junked this router. My phone should not be faster on 5g than this product. So I’m out 600$ for this faulty equipment and upgraded to an asus router. Hopefully not issues with it.
1.0.1.128 does not fix the issue. I also have the low transmission dropout issues, very, very dissappointing given the cost of the unit. Does anyone know if the Asus GT-AX11000 is any better? ....I'm looking at ditching the unit.
- Ditching this router is the best thing I’ve done. My cell phone should not be faster. Comcast’s xb7 gateway performs better. I got the asus router and it performs much better, less headaches too!
As I previously posted the GT AX-11000 is a much more mature, and stable product. I immediately switched to this router when I identified the severe problem with the netgear platform. You will have no issues w/ Asus.
End of story. Everyone. Stop trying. Get a different router. Netgear will not fix this anytime soon. Its been what 8-9 months? Give up.
It's sad that after all this time, and multiple complaints, that nobody got anywhere with this model router. Something that seems like it should be fixable with a firmware update.
In any case mine is well out of the return window so it's money wasted, sitting in a box, in a closet.
