RAX40 router stability driver issues
I am having stability issues with the latest firmware. Are there any devices known to cause issues with older drivers specifically? I have seen it mentioned elsewhere in the forum.

hey plemans,
I did everything short of a reinstall or reflash. I have tried turning off some extra features as well. V1.0.3.80_1.0.1 is the version I am on presently.
The issue is the router locks up and the radios seem to go offline. I haven't tried accessing it via the browser during one of these lockups yet. I have just used the power switch to cycle the router.
I have a switch connected as well. The modem doesn't seem to be the issue.
I have had stability issues on a previous version as well.

I'd start with the factory reset first.

I have given that a go. Does WPA3 have backwards compatibility with 2? I was thinking of relogging some of the older clients in.

What is your process for a reflash? Which browser do you use?

I usually use chrome.
I also prefer to do it over a hardwired connection.
Then its just follow the manual firmware update process and use the firmware you choose.
Yes wpa3 should be backwards compatible.
