I'll give my RAX200 another chance. Done a hard factory reset and manually re-configured all settings from scratch. Hopefully it will behave itself now....
Not had any disconnections since yesterday, current uptime is 15hrs. So maybe, just maybe, the factory reset has worked. I did the factory reset using the button on the back of the router instead of the software option.
- I just setup my RAX200 yesterday, I follow the forums just for this purpose when new firmware comes out I haven’t updated yet. Are you still rock solid with your connections. The release notes indicate WPA-3 support, have you notice WPA-3 as an option since updating?
My cable modem is rock solid and connected to the internet, It was the Rax200 that would stop connecting to the cable modem and stop accepting connections via wifi. I am waiting a bit before trying the above suggestion about a factory reset after the upgrade.
- My wife and I just started working from home prior to my router upgrade, her connection is WiFi and mine is Ethernet. Just don’t want any disconnections while working. I’ll update this evening. Which me luck!
- Just a quick update; As I mentioned earlier, just got the RAX200 but I didn’t update firmware immediately. Well, I did last night, after updating the f/w I went ahead and perform a factory reset using the button on the back of the router. So far so go! The update seem to improve the routers functionality connection wise. My iPhone 11 Pro almost hit 800 Mbs down.
