Any progress on this?
I have a RAX80 and I'm pretty sure that the firmware is corrupted.
I can connect to the wifi network. But the router says that it's offline.
It doesn't respond to the app or the DNS.
Before you ask:
I have done a factory reset 3 times.
I tried setting up the router but I need to login to account to do that. And it say that there is no internet access, even though there is.
I have tried multiple cables and ports ip's router. Connected to the wan port on the RAX80
All ports and cables work without issues with anything that isn't the router.
If router is connected to ip's router and I try accessing it through a browser (192.168.1.1)
It will connect to the ip's router and if I remove the cable from the wan port and plug it directly to a computer or with wifi. Nothing loads.
I have manual downloaded the newest firmware. But have no way to upload it to the router
Current Firmware Version 1.0.10.140.
Is there anyway to flash to firmware using the USB ports or any other way to flash to new firmware?
I managed to flash a new firmware thanks to of one comments. That comment seems to be gone now.
Sadly it didn't solve the issue. So the issue wasn't the firmware.
I was suspecting the fireware since the router wouldn't restart with the app. That issue seems to be solved now.
But it still says that there is no internet connected to the router. So I'm not sure what the issue is :(So this no internet seen on the routers web page?
Have you power cycled the ISP modem/ONT?
What brand and model# is the ISP modem/ONT?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.
Exactly. No internet access. Both according to the app and devices connected to it.
I have power cycled everything, multiple times.
After that I have internet for a minute or so before it disappears.
I was using a cat 8 cable whwn it stopped working.
I have tried multiple cables. All produced the same results.
None of the cable have any issues when tested with other devices afterward.
ISP modem: Tp-link EX520v
