RAX75 1.0.3.88 firmware broke HomeKit
I've been using my Nighthawk RAX75 (the Cosco version of the RAX80) for several months, configured with SmartConnect without any major issues with HomeKit. A few days ago almost all of my 40+ Hom...
The SmartConnect problem has always been there,
Manually set the 2.4G/5G SSID to be the same, the effect is better.

I previously tried two differe routers - the TP-Link Archer AX6000 and the ASUS ROG Rapture AC5300, and both had issues with their version of SmartConnect and HomeKit. I then switched to the Nighthawk, and had no issues with it for months, until Netgear released this new 1.0.3.88 firmware.
For the record, firmware 1.0.3.102_1.0.48 has severl fxes, but not one for Homekit. Most of my homekit devices became unresponsive within a few hours after upgrading from 1.0.2.76 to 1.0.3.102_1.0.48.
Unbelievable that Netgear is neither fixing this nor even acknowledging there's a problem. Knowing that Homekit worked in 1.0.2.76 and broke in 1.0.3.88 and higher should easily let them discover what code changes caused the issues...
Christian_R action please.
