[Time synchronized with NTP server] RAX80 Router disconnects me from the internet from time to time
This is the same issue I see some other people posting here. I'm using a RAX80 Router and I see from time to time, like twice a day, disconnectiongs happening entirely. It's like someone pulling th...

Can you let us know if this is still happening in most recent version of FW for the RAX80 please:

NETGEAR provided "Beta" firmware that resolved the disconnect issue, but caused my download speed to drop to ~100 MBS on 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. I experienced disconnects with the latest released firmware, so reverted back to the beta.
I received a call yesterday and was provided a second beta firmware. My download speed on 2.4 GHz peaked out at 135 MB/s and 5 GHz peaked out at 690 MB/s. I have 1 GHz service from XFINITY.
What are your download speeds?
They also had me change my 5 GHz channel 161 and mode to up to 2400 MBPS, which improved the 5GHz speed, but seems to have reduced my range.
I am still having two other issues that they told me not to worry about:
1. My DIRECTV DVR "spoofs" a second IP address with a different value in the first and last number in IP address. This address appears in my logs every few seconds, filling my logs. I was unable to block this IP address in the router settings. When I swapped to my R7000, I saw the same IP address issue.
2. I have seen a lot of DDOS attacks in my logs. I was told that this was the router identifying these attacks and not to worry about it. I did NOT see these DOS attacks when I had swapped to my R7000 for troubleshooting.
Kroozer I presume the disconnect issue is due to the NTP syncro issue that was first posted on and has been working now with this last two betas you got from NG?

Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
