Something I noticed last week while having my RAX50v2 online, internet was bad, even with ethernet connected PC.
I disabled Protection Engine and haven't seen anymore problems. Might give this a try as well.

Furrye38,
Your suggestion of turning off Protection Engine worked!
Fired up the PC from hibernation tonight, connected fine for 5 min and boom, no internet.
Logged onto the RAX50v2 with my phone, double checked PC would not connect, unticked Protection Engine and after clicking Apply, PC internet was restored.
Need to see what Protection Engine actually does now, not a lot of clarity on the community posts.
Assume this may have been included as part of my last firmware upgrade.
THANK YOU!!

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
