Firmware version 5.1.1.2 is what everyone needs to push for to be released.

Needless to say, my new one doesn't work either.
Looking at the history of this issue, I can't believe it's been about 1.5 years since this was first reported and there's still no resolution to this. For the kind of money Netgear is charging for this piece of junk, I'm surprised there's no class action lawsuit in place on this!!
Yep... I have heard people with different ISPs have completely different experiences. Mine (Xfinity) is one of the bad ones. At least we have a workaround 🤷 On my windows 11 desktop PC w wifi 6 the connection doesn't give me any issues. But Netgear knows they got us over a barrel... I just hold my breath with every new firmware.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What 5Ghz devices do you have connected when this happens? Brand and model of any wifi adapters being used please.
How is the Basic and Advanced WiFi settings configured on the CAX80?
