Purchased the RAX120 in early May. The Wi-Fi router worked flawlessly for a few days then about 10 days into ownership of the RAX120 it started random reboots.
I followed all the advice in this community on this issue , disabled VMM for 2.4 GHz, purchase a pure wave surge suppressor. Non of these resolved the issue.
I contacted Netgear support and they were useless in helping.
I finally, returned the RAX120 got my $ back and then purchased a different Wi-Fi router.
It is shameful how NETGEAR denies a major defect with this model Wi-Fi router. There should be a recall.
Good luck everyone with your troubleshooting on this issue. Hope one day NETGEAR can resolve it. As for me I paid too much $ to mess around with a defective product.
