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...
So was this issued ever solved?
No - Netgear still did not fix the issue in the current firmware v1.0.3.106_1.0.50.
If you want to use HomeKit and all the router's security patches installed, you will have to disable one of the best advertised features of the router - smartconnect. The only way to have HomeKit work is to disable smartconnect so you have two separate SSIDs for the two bands, and then configure all your HomeKit devices to use the 2GHz band as several of them are unlikely to support the 5GHz one.
Thanks, thats the way I have it setup now anyway. So as long as disable smartconnect and name the bands differnt I shoulmd be good, correct?
