I've grabbed 4 replacements from (B&H, Amazon [sent the CANADA vz.] and Walmart) same exact issue constant lan drops, supprisingly I've gotten the Wi-Fi to stay super-fast, solid and stable but the LAN JESUS!!! my PS5 constantly drops connections mid games. The only difference I see in the replacements is the new ones have the fan removed and are a bit lighter in color. The LAN drops are less frequent but they are there nonetheless. I've tried a switch but its the same difference since, the switch must go MODEM > ROUTER > SWITCH. At this point since most of my devices are WIFI conncected I only run the PS5 via LAN, I was considering keeping the RAX80 if there was a way to make it so the SWITCH feeds the ROUTER.
Ultimately if I keep getting drops ill just have to revert back to my WRT3200ACM, God why did I leave Linksys (loyal for decades) for this Star Wars Imperial Shuttle.

Yeah I plug my consoles direclty into the cable modem and bypass the router now. Then use the routers wifi for the rest of the house.
