New RAX 80 firmware ver: 1.0.2.76_1.0.35
Hey everybody, My router told me this mornig that a new vesrsion was available: 1.0.2.76_1.0.35 The changes: 1. [Bug Fixes] Fixes the issue where the 5G band operates in HT20 but not...
I was finally able to download 1.0.2.76 and install it. It is listed under the downloads for RAX80. The Nighthawk app & web interface for the router does not show new firmware found when I had 1.0.1.70 installed.
I am still getting LAN disconnections with the latest firmware 1.0.2.76. Since installing the firmware about 4 hours ago, the devices on LAN reset after 3 hours.
I did a reset with paperclip on back of router since after it was installed I was only getting 480 Mbps download after 1.0.2.76 install I now get 940 Mbps download since I am subscribed to GIG.
The WAN / LAN connections still disconnect / reconnect at random times. When the WAN disconnects it also affects the wireless devices. I notice my Google Home Mini will on occasion loose connectivity to the router, a reset will reconnect.
- I seem to be having more frequent wired/LAN disconnects on v2.76 than v1.70, but I have yet to notice a device connected through wifi get disconnected on any of the FW I have tried (and I have 50 devices on the wifi network, including multiple Google Home).
It sucks that some of you are having problems with the wifi network on top of the wired LAN issues.
I tried reverting to firmware v.1.56 to see if it would solve the "disconnect on LAN" issue. But, it didn't. My RAX80 has the same problem running that FW version too.
