CAX 80 Reboot SSID Changed
CAX80 rebooted sometime last night and suddenly SSID changed to a different name. Spectrum probably dropped (still having slowness issues) and caused the reboot. Anyone experience this before? ...

Ive been Having most of the problems mentioned in this forum with my cax80 for months. Ive been the guinea pig for awhile. I had the new firmware before release didn't help. they kept looking for software problems i finally got locked out. it would change my ssid to an older one.
and change my password to usually an older one i used with a different ssid. meanwhile dropping connections because it was changing ssid's. 4 months later they said hardware issue since we were locked out after soft hard resets. it was looking for a WPA3 code that i never inputted. I have a new one works alot better only issue is I cannot connect my Hue bridge to it yet. any ideas?
