Rax20 pauses devices on its own both Wi-Fi and direct connection
My RAX20 which I have had for 3 years just started pausing all devices on its own. I have rebooted the router several times and within a few minutes it does it again/ I have found that the Nighthawk app turns on parental control as well after I have turned it off.

Do this without running any Nighthawk mobile app.After setting up the router from scratch, make a backup to file:
Then test the router out with out running the Nighthawk app.
What FW version is loaded on the router?
