RAX80 Firmware V1.0.1.56_1.0.23 needs work!
Not even sure where to post this since my model number is RAX80. Anyway, the QOS sucks, and the DHCP must be screwed on firmware Firmware V1.0.1.56_1.0.23. Or the http interface doesn't update if y...
I have the exact same issues on firmware 1.0.1.40. Just upgraded to 1.0.1.56 today. Attached devices labels don't work. Some stick around, some revert to default immediately, and most revert back to default over a period of time. I can only get maybe 20% of the labels to stick. Likewise, QOS settings sometimes revert.
I have not had any issues with wired devices, but I have endless problems with wireless devices. After a period of time (2-3 weeks), it's like DHCP just goes to crap. Devices can't/don't get addresses anymore (I use static reservations for my devices), and gradually all of my wifi devices drop offline until practically nothing in the house works. The only solution is to manually reboot the router. That fixes everything for a couple weeks. Wired devices work fine, it's something with wifi only.
Likewise, the only solution I've been given is reset the router and set everything up all over again.
No surprise on these issues. These have been on the older routers and not fixed so why would we expect them to be fixed now?
Netgear engineers have not been able to address the on going issues so why would they suddenly be fixed now?
If within return window do it and get something else, IMHO.
