RAXE 500 disconnecting
I am currently on the newest firmware .94 and my RAXE 500 disconnects. After several reboots it does not connect to the internet.
That would do it.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Use the MultiGig port or Standard Internet port to connect to the Modem/ONT?
Do you see any AMBER LEDs on top when this happens?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
https://kb.netgear.com/24089/How-do-I-specify-the-pool-of-IP-addresses-assigned-by-my-Nighthawk-routerI am using my own modem, CM 2000 from Netgear and their cat5 ethernet cables.
When it disconnects, what actually happens?
Does it say "connected, no internet"? Does it not broadcast wifi at all? Does it broadcast but you can't connect?
Do wired devices drop?
Do you have a screen snip of the modem's cable connection page and event logs?
