RAX80 New Firmware Released 1.0.1.70
I just manually checked for new firmware version and 1.0.1.70 was available. I just updated from 1.0.1.56 which seemed the most stable for me with no lan / wan disconnections. The prior version 1.0.1...
Hi Sam_the_Gam
i was wondering how the upgrade to 1.0.1.70_1.0.30 was, i have had most of the same issues mentioned by others in a very long thread. I have rolled back ect.
I called Netgear as i really just do not want this unit anymore and have spent countless hours fixing or fighting with other household members over it not working. however if there is an improvement i would prefer to hold onto the unit as when it is good it is good, but then something happens and it kills the network, i have improved many network issues by simply assigning static IP, and have some managed Netgear switches that improved the wired devices.
i often encounter issues on the Apple and Samsung devices when using apps, not necessarily web browser, but then it is so randomly occurring simply turning wifi off/on on the mobile devices resolves it for a period of time.
i am still on V1.0.1.64_1.0.27 For my RAX80, and would be greatly appreciated if you could share if any noticeable difference in wifi.
Cheers

I had to downgrade to 1.0.1.56 because the LAN would periodically disconnect / reconnect causing loss of internet connectivity. Then the WAN devices would also periodically discoonect / reconnect causing loss of internet. Everything for me has been stable so far with 1.0.1.56 for the past 6 days.
