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...

I wonder if the errors occur with time sync only using default Netgear server? I noticed sometimes when looking at Time Sync setting page that it said could not connect to the Netgear server.... maybe we should use a non Netgear one like time . google . com to see if that fixes some issues.

Thanks xjn Seperis i also had NTP issues and since setting it to my NAS things have definitely improved with the time issue.
Being away over the last couple days, the network remained ok with my roommate not reporting any issues or needing to restart, but also communication that i should have received while away from the network, working as expected.
In addition my home automation worked as expected with the SmartThings ADT arming and disarming correctly as well as the thermostat.
Again though upon returning the issues remained in the mobile devices by Samsung and Apple.
i have had a somewhat stable network for all other devices for a few days now without requiring a restart.

Mine is fairly stable too. I still seen the random LAN disconnects at least once a day it seems... also still have the QoS issue. The WiFi is working pretty well using two separate SSIDs... I have not tried Smart Connect due to the trouble it causes and I don't mind having them separate so have more control over what devices connect to.
I am getting about 940Mbps during speed test over Ethernet. On WiFi I am getting about 435Mbps.... I have one AX device that was getting 750Mbps to 800Mbps, but after adding more devices it never seems to get speed that high anymore even if the other devices are in standby.
I am not sure if it's router issue or device issue... I see the link rate is reported as 1200 for AX device currently.... not sure what it was when was getting 750Mbps... seems that the MIMO may not be turning on correctly cause I only have 5 devices connected on 5Ghz and most are in standby. If I turn off other devices completely I still do not see the 750Mbps again so not sure what changed.

I have the same wireless issues as you. xjn Wifi speeds seemed capped arond 450Mbs. My wired speeds are fine.I posted a new discussion about it here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Routers-with-WiFi-6-AX/RAX80-capping-wifi-speeds-at-450Mbs/m-p/1849243#M5067
Is this a known issue? ChAKiBrOs said the speed cap issue was still there.
Anything we can do to get our wireless devices to full speeds?
