RAX40 Firmware 1.0.3.88 Dropping Packets

[maxducy]

I recently updated my RAX40 to the latest firmware and one of my PC that connects to the 5GHz channel keep losing packets. I tried factory reset, doesn't fix the problem. But if I connect to the 2.4 GHz channel it works just fine.

Hello maxducy,

Does the issue persist if you revert back to the previous firmware version?

With 10.0.83 and 10.0.64, yes. But I can't find a dowload link to 83 at all. With 64 the router freaks out everytime when my Yeelight smart lightbulbs tried to connect to it.

Have you tried disabling AX?

[maxducy]

Nope, still dropping packets.

Tried factory reset once again today, still having the issue.

I've been having the same issue but with multiple routers, are you sure it's not the wifi card in your laptop or its driver? For reference, my laptop is a cheap HP ef1003ca with a realtek RTL8822CE.

I'm starting to think the driver of the PC NIC is messed up, with a different NIC the problem is gone. Interesting thing is it didn't give me problems before and i can't roll back to the previous version either (gives me BSOD).

Using a different NIC is my solution for now.

Oh, and for reference it's Realtek 8822BE.
