RAX40 Firmware 1.0.3.80 Crash/Bug Log
Hello folks, can everyone please log all the issues they are experiencing with the RAX40 router on 1.0.3.80 firmware under this thread, I see there are several threads going on about the issue, figur...
I'm experiencing the same issues on the .80 firmware i.e. Disconnection of all devices with or without SmartConnect activated. Two different scenarios noted:
1. Auto disconnection if no activity
2. All devices dropped if one device is taken out of range (As stupid as it sounds, after I went out of my apartment and came back, all devices got disconnected while my phone did not connect back)
Reverted to 64 and things are back to normal.
I am running into similar issues. The WiFi becomes unstable once some devices have some drop in signal strength. Did a speed test under these conditions with QoS on and the results are all over the place, very unstable. Wired was ok. Interestingly I haven't really determined a failure pattern on the 2.4ghz signal but it crashes hard, disconnects all devices and freezer the router web interface. Interestingly the 5G side of the router continues to work but the wired portion is random. Somtimes the wired continues to work, other times the port goes dead.
I downgraded to the previous firmware version and all problems dissapeared.
Someone really messed this one up I think.
Also.... how do I get the lights blinking again. It gives me the option to turn off blinking but no option to turn them back on. Is this another firmware omission? Even the manual talks about changing blinking status on and off but the option doesn't seem to exist to turn blinking back on. Let me know if anyone knows about this. I run many devices and sometimes need to troubleshoot communication issues. If would be nice if I could do some of this without opening up monitoring software.
