Rax120
What firmware for rax120 is stable please.
I’ve gone back to the last version before they added Armor 1.0.1.118.
I actually stupidly tried enabling armor and the router constantly crashes. Any firmware version with armor causes the router to crash for me, even if I factory reset and don’t enable armor.
On 1.0.118 the router hasn’t crashed so far. It doesn’t entirely clear up all the issues but at least I’m not rebooting the router one or more times per day now.
This router has really put me off Netgear completely and after years of buying some of their most expensive routers I am just waiting for the first WiFi 6e routers to start coming out and then it will be goodbye Netgear. I usually give my routers to friends when I upgrade but I wouldn’t wish this router on my enemies.

I'd avoid 6e for now. Its fairly pointless as not many devices support it and its range is terrible. Its currently only approved for LPI (low power/indoor) mode so its range isn't much. Supposedly its going to be changed this fall but thats all about the FCC
plemans, I am curious about the possibility of the FCC approving higher power levels for indoor WiFi 6e in 2021, but have been unsuccessful in finding articles that discuss that topic. Can you please provide links? Thank you.
I was looking at alternative routers that are just WiFi 6, and I decided if I was going to spend a few hundred pounds on a router again I would want one with the new technology because I like to play with it. I do in fact have a WiFi 6E device already so it will be something to tinker with.
