Rax80 smart connect issue wifi dropping
Ive been having issues with my RAX80 since purchasing it , if i leave the router with the seperate bands (2.4ghz &5ghz) it runs fine but once i activate smartconnect all i get is intermittent connecti...
My night Hawk AX8 yesterday after I turned of smart wi-fi so that the 2.4 and 5g would be seperate I,set up for the 2.4 and a little while later it started to lose connection then came back and I sat there and watched it fade away to nothing and I had to connect to 5g and so far it is holding but before that the router updated itself when it got installed I am thinking that that mighjt be the problem ? or maby I just got a bad one but on the 5g nothing has needed to be reconnected
- I think you are correct because this was the same behaviour I experienced with the RAX80 out of the box (after an automatic update).
Try performing a factory reset & setting up your router again.
This seemed to work for me.Thank you for the reply and I will give that a try witgen the next 2 days
A factory reset doesn`t solves the problem... I have no drops with .56 firmware.
I hope the next stable will do it better
