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 finally had to downgrade to 1.0.1.40 from 1.0.1.56. Started to experience some of the bugs reported here with 1.0.1.56 after a week worth of uptime.
I have sadly relegated my RAX-80 back to paper weight duty, after several days of stable operation with firmware 1.0.1.40 and then several days where it was crashing again about 4 times per day.
It is just absurd that Netgear would release a product this unstable. When it is up, it works great, but what good is that when it goes down randomly otherwise? And having to DOWNgrade firmware 2 revisions from the current release to obtain even a modicum of stable operation is also ridiculous. This unit is unuseable as is. And either everyone on this forum thread has hardware issues, or Netgear has firmware issues. I tend to believe the latter... I'm not sure how (if) they test their products under varying setup conditions, but this unit is not ready for prime time.
