RAX200 V1.0.2.98_1.0.54 issues
I installed the new firmware yesterday and it has disconnected from the internet 4 times in the last 24 hours. Every time it happens I have to reboot the router manually, this is a bad firmware, be careful. Please, release firmware that are tested thoroughly, this did not happen before the firmware update, in addition please work on the fix, I do not want to be manually reboot the router every 6 hours for a $500 router.
I decided to factory reset the router yesterday night and since then there has not been any issues so far. If anyone has the same issue save your settings first, then factory reset and restablish your settings, it worked for me. Or you can follow LOL2kde solution to revert back to the previous firmware.

Thanks for the heads up!
has worked perfectly for me all day today...
I also have problems with this firmware, and after a while the 2.4 and the 5_1 GHz band completely disappears. then only the 5_2 ghz band is still there.
after a reset, it goes again for about 1-3 hours. with the previous firmware ... 88 I put it back on, the problems are gone. So the problem can only be the firmware ... 98!

do you use:
WPA2
orWPA2 + WPA3 ?
Good question--WPA2 + WPA3 on 802.11ax using all three bands. QoS and guest network are not enabled.
All other wireless features are enabled.
Although my HP Envy 120 printer/scanner is not happy with that and in order to connect it to wifi, I have to change to WPA2.
Always connects to my Killer Wi-Fi6 adapter in desktop on 5GHz low and my smart home thermostat on 2.4 GHz (which has no
problems with WPA3). Laptop goes to whatever band is least congested.
Still running with V1.0.2.98 and no problems.
Hope this helps!
This morning I noticed that the date on the router ((Nighthawk RAX200) was 2 days off (Saturday, not Monday), though the time was correct. I upgraded the firmware to 1.0.2.98_1.0.54 this weekend and suspect that's the cause, especially since I never saw this problem on the router before the update. I rebooted the router, which fixed the date. I will keep watching in case it goes awry again.
I noticed that the time the router shows is wrong too - it shows the time of the last reboot. When I rebooted the router again, the time that displayed was correct, but I expect it and the date to be wrong again as time passes.
