    Installed beta firmware 1.2.3.33 on it and then turn fan on in debug.htm. Just check mark it , don’t click on apply.

    Beta firmware did not do it for me. Against my own judgement, I've decided to upgrade to the RAX200 and it has been up and running for 2 days. 🤞

    I understand your purchase decision, but you shouldnt have to buy a new (different) router ofcourse, i mean the AX 120 v2 is still pretty new and should do its job.
    Having said that, i do hope you wont experience any issues! I've, in general, very good experience with nighthawk routers, so im still hoping for that definitive fix. Good luck OP
