RAX80 Half Speed

After a firmware update or a router rebooty wired speed goes from 940mbps to 450. I would have to reset the router and configure the setting as I did before to get my speed back to normal. This happens when the power goes out as well. Is there anything I can do to prevent this or am I stuck with this as a resolution?

  • I'm having same problem here, it seems speed capped after time sync with NTP sever.

    Hello Everyone, 

     

    Would you mind providing me with the firmware version your RAX80 is currently on? We recommend ensuring your device is on the latest firmware.

      I had the newest verison and the link dropped over 60 times a day from the ONT.  So annoying!  I just downgraded to .40 hopefully its more stable although now I cant get a gig at all.  Just 500 megs.  Hasnt dropped from ONT yet though.

        I have tried different version of firmware, speed can be resumed after factory reset or enable QOS, but it capped after time sync.
