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...
Another extremely unsatisfied netgear router owner. I went through two different RAX80's, all exhibiting the same WiFi dropping issues that everyone here is reporting. I exchanged it for a RAX120 which is slightly more stable, but still needs to be rebooted every couple hours because clients will not connect.
Seriously netgear, this is acceptable? This RAX120 pile of junk is going back to best buy tomorrow morning. Going back to an apple airport extreme 6th generation that literally never dropped a WiFi connection since I got it in 2013. Maybe I'll try out ASUS. Ridiculous that a top end product is this unreliable.
- I’ve decided I’m going with the Uniquiti Amplifi Alien which is wifi6 mesh. Getting good reviews and on Qualcomm chip. Ul and dl OFDMA

No wireless backhaul for a mesh system.No 160 MHz wide band support.
Theres better out there for cheaper.
- Oooh, nice recommendation....
Can you post back how it's working if you get that?
I could easily get that past home decor approval especially with the cool touch screen unlike the Asus which I'd like to get.
The online reviews seem pretty positive but it's impossible to trust almost any website these days as I haven't found anyone who says anything bad about the devices they're testing. Guess it's bad for business ;)
Take the RAX reviews as an example which all feel you how amazing it is when I can even maintain a stable Wi-Fi or LAN connection.Considering the Alian isint even available yet, this could be difficult.
