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...
Has anyone come across a fix for this issue yet?
When I turn off smart connect the wifi drops are reduced, but still occur.
I have been through two units, Netgear sent me a new RAX80, (same problems on both) I also tried multiple firmware revs.
The last firmware tested was 1.0.1.64 and yes I attempted older versions as well before I got so frustrated I took the router offline until this problem can be addressed by Netgear.
I needed a stable network so I went back to my R7900.
If anyone has found a solution please let me know. I would not mind even hearing that Netgear has finally acknowledged the problem. Their support certainly has not. Sorry for the frustrated post. It is a very expensive paper weight.
