RAX200 password issues

Randomly when I’m try to access a website I’m being asked for the username and password to my RAX200. I refuse to put my login information into the pop up box. If I click cancel it won’t allow me to access the website but sometimes I can just get out of my browser and go back to the website to have it work just fine.
What’s would be causing this login box to pop up ?

  • What modem/gateway are you using? 

    What firmware is on the RAX200?

        A couple things you can try. 

        1. a different dns server than the isp's. You can try googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or cloudfar at 1.1.1.1

        2. factory reset the router and reinstall it. The RAX devices have gotten quite a few firmware updates and they were released before the AX spec was even finalized. This has caused them to respond favorably to factory resets if there's issues.
