RAX43 autoupdated firmware, changed SSIDs, and now wifi is very sporadic
Last night my RAX43 did some sort of auto-update/factory reset, which put my SSIDs back to factory defaults. I fixed that, reconnected wifi, but now the problem is the wifi signal keeps cutting out...
Same exact thing happened to me overnight on a RAX43 router. I woke up to find all my network names were gone and had reset to factory default. I also noticed it auto-updated my firmware overnight. This has never happened before. More concering is, once I restored my SSIDs and got everything re-connected, wi-fi is now very flakey. The router keeps dropping the wifi signal. No idea what's going on.
I have a RAX43. It appears overnight (Nov 8 or 9) a firmware update was forced on the router to 1.0.12.120.
First, it set everything back to factory defaults so all my SSIDs had to be renamed.
But far worse is the fact that wi-fi started cutting out every 3-4 minutes on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. Nothing I did could fix it. I've owned the router about 1.5 years and never once had any issues til now.
I finally forced a reversion back to older firmware and whola, wi-fi is working again.
There is something seriously buggy about 1.0.12.120.
