RAX200 Ethernet ports stop working
So I am having the same issue with my RAX200 which has worked fine for over 2 years.
Firmware Version V1.0.10.140_1.0.79. ISP is Virginmedia, RAX200 is connected to the VM Hub 4 in modem mode...

Hi both
I will try AP mode since it wasn’t configured that way. What the hell it’s not working so happy to give it a go.

When you switched the modem to modem mode, did you reconfigure the RAX for router mode as well?

If yes, you need to connect to the router with a real computer, an Ethernet cable, and use a web browser to configure the settings.
- 11oydyboyMar 18, 2023AspirantThere is a setup wizard on the web UI. I did a fresh start and it’s working so far.

Does the router seem to be running hot or extra warm when this happens?
What happens if you place a USB laptop cooler fan under the router?
Downgrade FW back to last version of FW you had loaded?

Thing about this issue is that I didn’t consciously change anything before it started playing up.
