RAXE500 Beta FW v1.0.9.78 is available for testing
Hello RAXE500 Community,
We have a beta firmware available for testing for the RAXE500 that we hope will resolve some of the instability issues that have been reported over the last few months....
Two smartphones and a smart tablet (3 wireless)
Two desktop computers and one laptop (2 wireless, 1 wired)
5 TV boxes, two Roku boxes, and two flat screen TVs, one Blu Ray player (10 wireless)
12 HomePods (12 wireless)
5 WiFi cameras
3 Netgear ReadyNAS units (3 wired)
4 IP Cameras (4 wired)
2 wired switches
Miscellaneous health devices (5 wireless)
So 37+ wireless devices and 10 wired ones, if they were all going at the same time, which of course they are not, as it's just me using all this.
My previous R9000 didn't have a problem with this setup, and it likely has a slower processor, and the configuration is 95% identical, It'd be nice to turn off the 6GHz band on the new one to match but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.
I haven't done exclusion testing yet, but if I had to guess, I'd bet on this being due to the WiFi camera traffic.
Probably has nothing to do with the CPU as the R9000s Cortex A15 is actually more powerful. The Cortex A53 in the RAXE500 is a successor to the low power Cortex A7 and performs close to the A9. The A57 is the A15 successor. The A53 in the RAXE500 does have superior crypto accelerator though.
