RX8 RAX75/RAX80 stability
Anyone satisfied with their RAX75/80. I bought the Costco version(RAX75) and I could not log into the web base UI, only the App. I used Apple computer so Safari is my browser. I was able to log into ...
This leads back to my main question; Is this new AX8 router worthy? I believe not. Thanks
If you don't believe it is, then return it. I've got an RAX200 and it works great. I can't speak for the RAX 75/80 because I don't have one.
Potentially something was setup different than prior.
What modem are you running?
Did you setup qos on the RAX? Qos isn't recommended >250mbps speeds because it disables CTF in broadcom devices.
What speed are you getting over hardwired on the RAX?
Did you setup smart connect on the RAX? Area's with high congestion tend to have issues with smart connect due to interference and the smart connect starting devices off on the 2.4ghz signal.
I can log into both, x10(main) & rax75(ap). During the initial setup thoughI I started fresh. No routers were connected. My new AX8 was gonna be my main downstairs & R9000 in AP mode upstairs. I attempted to set the AX8 up via web base UI but could not log us Safari. I was able to using Chrome. Got everything set up, as I mentioned.....started surfing and pages would not load or would load very slow. I have 500/15 speed tier. I hadn’t even got to the AP Setup for the R9000. This leads back to my main question; Is this new AX8 router worthy? I believe not. Thanks

I did a factory reset and inserted my RAX75 as my main router, went thru the setup and everything is working as it should, speedy loading of web pages, hardwired & WiFi speeds are great! All the options are in use beamforming, mimo, ax mode & smart connect. No dropped connections. As you mention, something was not setup right which got me to thinking......Thanks
