  • I had the same problem after updating the firmware to V1.0.3.80_1.0.1 . I switched auto update off en went back to firmware V1.0.3.64_1.0.1
    This solved the problem for me...
  • I have the exact same issue with Firmware Version V1.0.3.80_1.0.1

     

    This is very frustrating when you have all the entire family relying on internet access with remote work and school.

        Netgear don’t care and they should recall their rax routers until they can fix the damn issues with their firmware. They released an incomplete and buggy product.
