Netgear Nighthawk AX12

The router frequently disconnects, prompting no IP address, unable to connect to the IP for a long time

Re: Netgear Nighthawk AX12

What firmware is on the router? 

What modem/gateway is it connect to? 

When it disconnects, is it wired devices, wireless devices, all devices? 

Does it say "connected, no internet" or does it drop off the network entirely? 

Have you tried a simple factory reset and reinstall? The RAX devices got quite a few firmware changes and have responded well to factory reset/reinstalls.

Re: Netgear Nighthawk AX12

Ax12 is the latest firmware. I can’t connect to the network but the Wifi is connected normally. If there is no network, the router needs to be restarted for normal operation. The same problem exists when I restore the factory settings.

And the other info? LIke modem/gateway?

Please make sure to be details and precise. We aren't there to see what you're doing/done.

Rax80 with latest update firmware(v1.0.3.98_1.0.46). Keep losing connection with internet but WiFi signal works fine. Problems came up after I updated, never faced it before.

Re: Netgear Nighthawk AX12

I just installed this router and had my laptop WIFI disconnect twice in 4 hours.  If this router is junk I need to return ASAP.  I changed my NTP setting, changed DNS to Google and disabled broadcast of SSID for guest.  I will see what happens.

 

Router Firmware Version V1.0.2.136

 

Should I just return???  Is this product junk?

@CJRATLIFF I'd recommend starting your own thread. You're on different firmware and talking different routers.
