RAX45 issues
I recently acquired an RAX45 — Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX4300 WiFi Router and am generally happy with it. I've noticed 2 issues. (1) The Block Sites function doesn't seem to work at all. The User...
Apparently the Block Site function is basically vaporware. According to the manual it won't work for any https address. Since pretty much everything is now that makes it a worthless function.
It has been 5 months (12/28/21) since I posted a query about the Block Site function not working on my newly purchased RAX45 router. I got 0 responses. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? Am I the only RAX45 user trying to use the Block Site function? If so, I'd ask anyone with an RAX45 to experiment with the Block Site function and report whether it works or not for you. I'm betting it doesn't. As a user with multiple devices, the Block Site function would be the best way to globally block certain sites on my home network. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I can't speak aboout Block Sites (never used it) but I strongly disencourage doing automatic firmware updates. It's a disaster waiting to happen for a bricked router.. Always download the firmware from NG's site and manually do a firmware update
Thanks for reaching out. Have you actually had the firmware autoupdate brick a router for you? Have others reported an issue with autoupdate?
