RAX120 Slow Wifi Speeds
Hello I am needing some help! I have the RAX120 Nighthawk router and I have having super slow wifi speeds. For the one computer that I have hard wired the speed test shows around 39-48Mbps download w...
Yes, it only impacts my AX cards. I have 3, a kill ax1650, a TP-Link Wifi 6 AX3000 and a Fenvi ax card. The issue happens on all 3 and yes the speed drops to usually right around 6 mbps give or take 2-3 mbps. It does not happen on my ac only cards.
Good to know and thanks for the quick reply. Hopefully Netgear monitors these threads and will address the issue with a firmware update ASAP!
It could be bad firmware, but there is currently no good one. As for hardware, getting an RMA and a new Nighthawk won't help, I"ve tried. Unfortunately pretty much replacing it is probably the best option. I"m going to as soon as router prices come down a bit, Routers be crazy expensive right now. Just going to hold out on a terrible router for a few more months and then cut my losses.
Yeah...I've tried two RAX120's and both had the same issue. Thanks for the quick responses.
Have a nice night and keep your fingers crossed for a firmware update...
Best,

- I have a software background myself and I'm positive it is firmware related. The hardware is capable of amazing performance. They just need some managerial level shakeup to get it fixed. It's not Boeing level issues, but not far off.
Something is crashing the code. It's somewhere in whatever handles the 5 GHz frequecy.
