RAX120 wifi drops until reboot

For a couple weeks the WiFi on my RAX120 has dropped a time or two a week; the ethernet connections were unaffected, and the WiFi returned after rebooting.

 

This never happened before.  The firmware is current (V1.2.0.16).  Suggestions please?

 

(If it happens again I am, with some reluctance, thinking of backing up settings, doing a factory reset, and restoring settings.)

  • I would try the factory reset. You can restore settings but if the issue persists, try it without using the backup. If its an old setting causing issues, the restore just adds the setting back in there. 

     

    You can also try downgrading the firmware.
