What firmware version are you on?
When its working, I'd try downgrading the firmware a version and disable auto updates. Maybe the firmware version you're on is causing an issue.

Re: Nighthawk RAX80 random loud fan (not hot) noise and not working
well i was able to get a new router from netgear after explaining this was my second replacement router with the same issue. I don't recall what the version ( i think it was 1.0.3.88_1.0.41 as when i recieved the router i updated the firmware when i saw the update prompt) was on the previous router but the one I just received as a replacement has v1.0.1.62_1.0.26 installed. I did not update it to the newest version available which is 1.0.3.88_1.0.41. I'm not updating it for now and see what happens. I hope this is the cause of the issues and it looks like it might be because i dont think it would be a hardware issue since i had two rotuers with the same problem.
thanks
