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 went back to 1.0.1.56 so far so good! I am noticing slightly faster speeds over WiFi with 1.0.1.56
Why does the Netgear monitor on this forum never have anything to say regarding this myriad of firmware instability issues?
Ironically I took a chance on the RAX80 because it was released about 8 months ago (as opposed to the newer RAX120), and yet, even with that lead time, Netgear releases firmware that is entirely unreliable. . . I guess that shows how far behind they are on an actual well-tested product when they release it, presumably to compete in the marketplace.
Has anyone gotten any indication that they are working on alll these issues and have an ETA for the next release? It's hard to be optimistic about this router ever working when the stability seems to notch DOWN on each subsequent release. (I can't even get 1.0.1.40 to stay up) I'd be happier if they worked on stability first and speed improvements later.
Hello JJsalsa and others,
Engineering is aware of the issue and is working on a fix as soon as possible. At this time we do not have a definitive date or an ETA on the next firmware release. I will be sure to provide an update on this thread as soon as I can.
Regards,
Christian

So, to be clear. Everyone, with this router is screwed. Think about that. We spent ~$350 on a router that can't provide interenet access, which means we have to buy a new router.

That is not what this conversation says.
One message just before you stepped in with this nonsense advises:
I went back to 1.0.1.56 so far so good! I am noticing slightly faster speeds over WiFi with 1.0.1.56Do you need help in how to install this slightly older firmware? If so, start here:

Thank you for your response Christian. We appreciate the update.
Just wanted to update and say 1.0.1.40 is still experiencing problems for me. The router reboots/crashes/loses internet about once every day it seems. Just happened while I was on a Zoom meeting. So to recap, 1.0.1.40, 1.0.1.56 and 1.0.1.58 all have the same issues for me - random crashes. 1.0.1.40 seems to be the most stable so far, but still not great.
Seriously considering returning this device at this point. :(
Xinil, I think you definitely should return it if you're able to. Many of us are beyond are return window and are regretful =(
