RAX80 / RAX75 Firmware 1.0.1.70 Problem
Nighthawk AX8 (RAX75) After updating from Firmware 1.0.1.64 to Firmware 1.0.1.70, I cannot run an admin connection from wireless clients to the router anymore, neither to 192.168.1.1. nor routerlogi...
I have the same issues with unstable USB disks.
I downgraded the router to the old Firmware 1.0.1.64 and it ran pretty stable for 7 weeks, including wireless admin access from my iOS devices and Readyshare sharing of 2 connected USB disks.
One week ago I updated again to Firmware 1.0.1.70 to see if there is a corrected release, but no success. The connected USB disks are visible for other network devices (shared via Readyshare) for a while, then they are gone. Rebooting the RAX75/80 brings the disks back for a while, until they are gone again.
Strangely, sometimes the disks are shared and visible in the network - but the router admin interface shows 'no usb disk' connected, no shared directories setup in 'readyshare'.
I will try to downgrade again to Firmware 1.0.1.64 and hope I can run this router in that configuration for maybe 6 months, and if there is no better new firmware release I may have replace it.
Thanks for the comments!
