RAX70 Nighthawk - DNS just drops repeatedly - very frustrating
I have the Nighthawk RAX70 router that I bought only 5 months ago... and it worked flawlessly until this week. Now several times per day DNS just gets dropped. The result is that all my devices ...
Nope!!
It lasted about 24hrs. I just walked in the door, and all my switches and security cameras are offline.
It only seems to be the WiFi that's affected; my desktop is hardwired to the NightHawk, and it's fine. Even rebooting the WiFi device doesn't allow it to rejoin; I have to reboot the router.
I used the [Connect Via Anywhere Access] from the app to do the reboot. I have a Ring alarm that is also hardwired; I'm going to switch it to WiFi and reboot the router again. I have a feeling that it might be precisely 24hrs until it drops everything, so that should tell me.
- Any updates on this?
