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...
Thanks all for the info, my router has auto updated to 1.0.3.80 and broke itself, I used it for AP and suddently it stopped working.
Hard reset it and it failed to let me change SSID, password, region, everything. I can only use the standard SSID/password, what the heck.
Found this thread and I cannot believe almost 6 months now and they didn't fix the firmware, and the broken firmware is still auto updating to our router!

Have you tried disabling auto-update in the router's admin console?
- I seen this post on the netgear RAX40 support page, probably not a great idea to run old firmware as it appears there is a security misconfiguration.

They advise to update to the latest firmware. This is an issue is on firmware prior to 1.0.3.80. So if your running previous versions you could be at risk. Hopefully they fix the firmware but, it doesn’t seem like it.
I chatted with support and they couldn’t answer any questions I had about my router. Waited 45 minutes without a reply to a basic question and I’ve also posted a few questions on here but, it doesn’t seem like any netgear support are active in the community or they are just dodging any post about this router.

I've been able to get in contact with L2 to provide me with a link to test out the beta firmware but apart from that, it's all radio silence since then.
Firmware 1.0.3.80 has just been pulled as a download option. It was there last weekend when I updated a RAX40 to get WPA3. Hopefully this means a new version is on the way. I can't believe they are going to leave us with an old firmware verson that doesnt have WPA3 or the security patches.
- With all these issues they still sell this router.

it seriously took them this long to remove the faulty firmware? jeezus... Hopefully this is a sign that the new firmware is in the final stages of preparation for release. Hopefully it is, as I'm very sorry for everyone who hasn't been able to obtain support from Netgear to get access to the beta.
can anyone share the link where to download firmware V1.0.3.83 for rax40? I live in China and so one of Netgear support service here does speak a word of English
