RAX120 Router Random Disconnects
Hey everyone, I know that I'm not the only one with problems on the Nighthawk WiFi 6 devices, but thought I'd post my most recent headache. My hardware consists of a Motorola MB8600 DOCS 3.1 modem w/...
Update on .115:
Installed yesterday (3/10) at 3:30pm
It installed ok, and I poked around the interface not changing anything else just making sure all settings were ok/same.
I logged back in last night to check attached devices....no issues.
Logged in this morning to do the same...no issues.
Logged in again a bit ago 10:30am and got authentication errors....weird. I then had to use the default password and create a new one (this time creating a strict password with one cap, one lower, one numeric and one symbol). I'm not sure why this just now occurred, but also after the password save....MY DNS STOPPED RESOLVING AGAIN!
I changed my DNS servers to ones I want to use, and am rebooting. If the DNS fails to resolve again on .115 as of now (11:23am CST), this thing is going back to amazon.
A similiar issue just happened to me. The RAX120 has been running for about 12 hours on .115 with no DNS issues. I go to login and it is giving me authentication failures. My admin password that worked last night after upgrading to .115 is not working. This isn't a fat finger, cuz it's copy and paste from a password DB. Attempting to use the default admin password doesn't work either. It sends me to the security questions prompt, and my answers that I know are correct won't let me in. Way to go Netgear. you broke the router's ability to serve up DNS requests and push a beta firmware as a solution that breaks your ability to auth to the switch.
I wonder if I can get my credit card to reverse the charge since I can't return this paper wieght back to Amazon?
