Rax200 firmware update V1.0.2.8_1.0.45 causes the router to go offline every few hours
I just updated my Rax200 router with the firmware update V.1.0.2.8_1.0.45 this morning. It has lost connection to the internet 4 times so far today. The Netgear CM1100 connected by an Ethernet cabl...
psychopomp123 is there a way to force your device to connect to an ax band? And if not what’s the point of having the capability if the device doesn’t use it?
Hi
Did you enabled MU-MIMO, OFDMA and AX in "advanced" ==> "Advanced configuration" ==> "wireless settings" ?
Currently, i connot have more than 350Mb/s on my devices on the 5G band in ac (I do not have ax device yet)...
Just a suggestion for troubleshooting wifi issues using wifi on a mac-try downloading WiFi Explorer-it will give you loads of information on all the bands (2.4 and 5GHz) and the throughput (20, 40, 80, or 160) capabilities plus much more (yes it does cost $20 but it will save you a lot of headaches and time spent on the phone with support). Even though I have my mac hard wired to the router but I occassionally run this tool to rule out suspected wifi issues. You can get the app at app store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wifi-explorer/id494803304?mt=12
To help out with the wifi analysis here are few links to wifi analyzers:

Hope this helps to resolve or eliminate some of your wifi issues.
To take the guess work out of which DNS servers should I use here is a Windows program that does just that and the best part it is free:

Following with great interest as I've started to get daily disconnects and suspected my Virgin Media modem was at fault

Couple things you can try Her
Here are a few things you can try
1. Revert back to the previous f/w
2. Download and install latest f/w over your existing f/w then reset to factory using the pin hole on back of router.
3. I heard that if you install the original f/w then update to most current. Then factor reset(pin hole method). The disconnect issues disappear. Good luck!
I Hi
1. Revert back to the previous f/w
So I tried this but that seemed to increase the frequency of disconnects. Over night as per the attached screenshot the router never fixed itself
2. Download and install latest f/w over your existing f/w then reset to factory using the pin hole on back of router.So I'm on this option at present but it too has just disconnected. I Removed then plugged in the WAN cable but that didn't fix it so had to reboot the router.
