RAX80 Incorrectly Reports Connection Type
Hello All:
I am in the process of setting up a new RAX80. I have noticied the network map incorrectly reports the connection type. Items that I know are WIFI (iPhone) are reported as wired. While items that I know are wired are reported as being on the 5 GHz band.
The router also seems to be very slow in updating the network map. For example, it I disconnect a wired connections it may take several minutes to report disconnection. And, in some instances it begins to report the connected device as being connected to 5 GHz band.
Even selecting refresh does not help.
Anyone know what is going on?

One more thing. I am in the latest firmware V1.0.1.56_1.0.23. Updated this at installation.

Hello Dgbarar1 - Thanks for your post. Would you mind letting us know if you're viewing the network map through the Nighthawk app or web browser?

Christian_R with all due respect, this is unique a Netgear Nighthawk "feature"* - not a problem specific to the RAX80.
*bug!
Hi Dgbarar1 - Thanks for getting back. I'll report this to engineering for further investigation.
