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...
Same here with the firmware issues. tested multiple times.
first off with the VPN Cert download, there is a workaround. If you have Remote Managment on , turn it off.
Speeds.. with QOS, Traffic Meter, Access Control all OFF.

I have been back and forth with the firmware several times. checking different settings.
It will not work.

Nice find, obviously a recursion - happened several times over the years on other Netgear routers.

Hello Polar1823 & SereneStorm,
Please send me a message with your contact info and serial number as I would like for support to get in contact with you.

SereneStorm -- I am having a similar issue with speeds as you. I have 940 down with my ISP and on a wired connection the router struggles to pull 320-330. Factory reset it once, it fixed it for 3 days. It went back to doing the same thing. Last night, my 5G connection dropped, rebooted my modem and router and my speeds are in the crapper again. I called support again, they suggested I downgrade my firmware to the 1.0.1.40 revision. I did that, no improvement. So I guess I have to default the router AGAIN. Get your act together Netgear. If I could easily sell off this thing and find something better that would work, I'd sell it in a heartbeat! What is sad is the $20 router I get from my ISP works better than this thing.
Coming back here with some updates:
Downgrading to the 1.0.1.40 still occasionally drops all connected devices (wired and wireless) from the internet and requires a router reboot to bring everything back online, but not at the frequency of the .56 build.
It's super **bleep**ty because everything goes offline until I can get home to jump start everything back up again.
I definitely have buyers remorse here paying $400 for a router that can't stay up. The only reason I decided to go with 'the best out there' was because I dropped my previous router and broke an antennae. I think my return window on Amazon has expired, and I no longer have the box so I can't return it =(
I refuse to reset the router because it has a ton of port forwarding rules applied to it as well as IP assignment and I don't want to spend an hour entering it all again. ESPECIALLY since I can't add multiple forwarding rules at a time. It's so burdensome.
Please note that there is a new firmware version available: https://kb.netgear.com/000060970/RAX80-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-58

I dont know about the WIFI issue myself as i use another brand of APs. but i did find after i did downgrade to the previous FW, sometimes it didnt speed back up in throughput. stayed around 400ish up and down. so i changed my third octet from 10 to 100 and back up to 930D - 800U.
