My sons Xbox wasn't working so spent Saturday morning troubleshooting. I was pretty sure it was firmware related since it was fine before the upgrade but took me a couple hours to realize is the the time that was not updating. I kept trying all the circle settings and discovered it was bedtime that was causing the problem and then but two and two together. I have a Google nest wifi dual router kit coming tomorrow. I'll see how that works out and then hasta la Vista nighthawk (I've pretty much had it with this router which surprisingly still ranks very high on the reviews).

I sold the RAX80 on eBay and replaced with a 2 router Nest WiFi Kit. I just couldn't deal with the firmware headaches.

branchbiker Luckily I'm still in my return window on Amazon, but I went a similar path. Just ordered the Nest Wifi with two Points. Even after downgrading the firmware to the 88 version, I'm still having issues. My modem/router are on a battery backup. Last night the power flickered causing all my smart devices (which are connected to the 2.4 network) to restart at the same time. Router couldn't handle it apparently and just stopped broadcasting the 2.4 network. Not the first time this has happened, just the first time I saw the cause. Disappointed to leave wifi6 behind, but I'm over this hunk of garbage. I wish the rest of you good luck.

why don't you just post this firmware on website. You already broken too many routers, it does not hurt to break more. You never test anything. Just let all the users as beta test. You can mark the firmware beta.
