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...

The idea of a NDA is that it should not be talked about and this thread is a perfect example why.
no Beta should be talked about openly if an NDA has been agreed, it just stirs people up.
I understand your point about NDA, but people who have bought this expensive router are suffering with disconnections in a world where Work from Home is the new normal. Netgear employess wont help anyone in this community anyways. So I dont think there is anything wrong in sharing something which could help a few users who are struggling with below standard router which was sold as a Flagship model.
This why Betas should be behind closed doors. If nothing was mentioned you would not be asking for it to be shared and with some Betas it can void warranty.
im sure they will release an update, like all routers especially a AX routers it can take a while to became stable as the chipset manufacturers release updates to drivers.my RAX120 was in the same boat and runs well now. Im sure it will soon come out and may include a security patche too.
- I'm sorry but while I would normally agree with you on this.... my warranty is going to void based on expiry with the time it is taking to release a working version of this. A week or three of constant hanging and reboots when I have critical systems integrated is somewhat acceptable (not really but I have patience). 6-10 months now of the issue is wholly unacceptable. They need to do better for their customers and they should've had ample time now to test this "beta".
- WhatsApp beta's and likewise many other apps do release a beta program where anyone can register and avail it at their own risk.
Unfortunately all you can do is wait for the the new firmware. I fully understand your frustration and I hope a fix appears quickly for those who have issues.
