If you're in a fireteam whether it's PVE or PVP, that's gonna be pretty bad. And in the game I play, if you are in PVP and leave, you are penalized. First it's a warning, the second time you get a temporary ban from the activity.

I have both problems.
LAN disconnects when I hardwired the Xbox via Ethernet.
Dropped/Frozen WiFi connection when using mobiles/tv/smart devices.
I have the RAX80 configured as an Access Point.
This device is just garbage...
Its been more than a year without even an attempt from Netgear to fix.
I put a netgear EX8000 in the exact same place in my network with the exact same network settings/SSID and it works flawlessly.
No disconnects, reliable Wi-Fi connection.
Its 1000% an issue with the RAX80 but obviously Netgear don't care as you've already paid them 300$

- ChocobofarmNov 18, 2020GuideIt sucks if your RAX80 is dropping clients on wifi too. I guess I can consider myself lucky that mine's wifi isn't having any problems.
