RAX80 Incredibly Frustrating Issues
Purchased a Netgear RAX80 router and a Netgear CM1000 modem several months ago now to upgrade my setup. For months after the initial set up things have worked perfectly fine and smoothly, however the...
Happens usually about two or three times a day per device, from what i can tell it is usually device specific, all other devices work as normal even if one is having issues. Haven’t tried to get into the router gui during these issues, they’re usually very short and intermittent. Firmware is the latest one currently available, i can get an exact version number if need be. I haven’t tried any DNS options besides what came default, which was working fine initially.
A firmware number might help.
have you noticed if its specific to 1 or 2 devices?
Or do they all eventually have it happen?
- Firmware version is V1.0.3.106_1.0.50. I’m almost positive i’ve updated the firmware a couple of times since the issue started as well.
I mainly have noticed it on my personal desktop and phone, haven’t noticed or experienced it personally on other devices but they also aren’t used nearly as frequently.I would try using a different dns like googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
or cloudfare at 1.1.1.1
another thing to try is checking your IPv4/6 setting and enable it if not.
I'd rather continue using the router DNS as opposed to google or cloudflare public DNS if possible, but I can try those and see if I still have issues if you want. Which ipv4/6 setting are you referring too? The only IPv6 setting I could find was set to disabled, should I set it to auto config? Don't have much experience in this area haha.
