RAX50 Advanced Tab Not Working
RAX50 running V1.0.10.110 and Advanced Tab is visible but does not work with any combination of ipad/iphone and browser that I can find. Advanced Tab is only works from my windows laptop. I did a hard reset of router and multiple reboots of all devices but not working. Any suggestions?

This has been broken since version 1.0.5.106, late last year. There are a number of other threads on this bug on this forum (see below). I was really hoping that this new update would solve the problem, but it doesn't. I have gone though official channels to NG to report the bug and get it fixed, to no avail.
My experience: the Advanced tab cannot be accessed using any browser in iOS or iPadOS. It cannot be accessed using Safari in MacOS. It can be accessed using Firefox on MacOS. Firefox on Mac is my workaround (it's how I updated to version 110).i personally think that this is an inexcusably long time to have such a significant bug out in the field. I will never buy another piece of Netgear hardware.
Try going back to first FW version or a few versions after 1st version release?

Given the fact that the oldest FW version in Netgear's site is 1.0.5.106, and that that version also has the bug we're talking about, Netgear has made it quite difficult to revert to a working version. Not to mention the fact that the bug prevents access to the router's admin page that allows you to load a FW version from a file.
Actually here is v1.0.0.x and v1.0.2.x versions available on the RAX50 support site...
