  • What FW is loaded on the RAX? 

    What brand and model# ISP modem or ONT is the router connected too? 

    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.
