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.

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.
