RAX75/80 Consistantly drops speed on both Ethernet and WiFI
I purchased the RAX75/80 from Costco a few months ago and have it connected to a CM1100 Cable modem,. I have GB Service with Cox Internet. It will maintain 950-990 MBPS (ethernet) for about 24 hou...
I've attempted to get port aggregation to work with no success so I'm ust using a single connection.

if so, i'd highly recommend disabling it on the cm1100 and the RAX and just using a single connection. I've found many ISP's have issues with port aggregation.
so its solid for 24 hours and then drops?
have you tried connecting a pc to the modem and using just that for 24+ hours to see if its a modem or a router issue?
I wouldn't say it's solid for that long. Basically I'll check it whenever it seems slow which is about once a day. Most of the time it's slower than mollasses. Connecting just my pc would not be practical because we have 3 of us working from home every day. It was doing this before that though. I have bypassed the router when it is slow and done a speedtest that way and it's fast so it's definitely a configuration in the router.
do you have the RAX75 or 80?
What firmare is on it?
did you ever try reinstalling the firmware to it over a hardwired connection, then factory reset, with a clean install (not from backup)?
Just in case the firmware was corrupt on it.
Another thing to try is downgrade a version of the firmware. The rax devices were released even before AX spec was released and occasionally get a bug with firmware upgrades. Its where sometimes the "latest isn't always the greatest".
