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...
... and still no communication from Netgear regarding our V1's where we are now relegated to the original 1.0.3.64 firmware with reported security bugs and well-documented disfunctionality. Nothing. Nada. How about "Updated firmware will be avaiilable on..." or maybe "We are aware of the issues and will..."? Customer service?? You'll have to pay Netgear for that. Good money after bad.
I agree with you and for me this is the last time I buy a netgear product, I bought the rax40 249 euros and I cannot use it properly because of all these bugs! The worst part is paying for inefficient support! For me the only option is to bring my router back to where I bought it and try to make the warranty work ...

Looks like v1.0.3.88 is out but with a very important omission-
Known Bugs
This firmware version does not support OFDMA, WPA3, and Smart Connect. If you wants to use these features, roll back the firmware to the last version V1.0.3.80.
That’s pathetic, Netgear.... :smileylol:
- Oh and have you seen the change log for the RAX40v2 latest firmware? Holy crap. That’s probably why they completely gave up on us poor Chumps with our original v1....
https://kb.netgear.com/000062569/RAX40v2-Firmware-Version-1-0-2-72 - Also I don’t know why they removed OFDMA, WPA3, and Smart Connect from the public release of .88 when my beta .83 still has them.
Considering that the ghost moderators have deleted my comments which are decidedly critical of Netgear for releasing and ignoring the RAX40, I can only wish the rest of you good luck while you are run in circles.
- Yes Netgear are the worst. Rather than ghost removing peoples honest posts here regarding their horrible experiences, why not actually do something that will help your customers?
Oh wait, you’re way too corrupt to want to help. Not only do you charge for customer support after 90 days, but you go and make a grande new v2 of our defective router model and don’t mention anything or offer replacements for us.
Last Netgear product I’ll ever buy in my life. Looks like the RAX40v2 is moving on to the RAX50 Broadcom chipset. I believe the current RAX40 is Intel based right?
That fimware for the V2 change log is word-for-word IDENTICAL, including the revision number to the RAX50 latest frmware.
(Having a RAX50, I've had that one up continuously without a hitch for over 60 days now.)
