New - RAX120 / RAX120v2 Firmware Version 1.2.8.40 Released

[FURRYe38]

Do a lookup on those IP addresses to see where they are coming from. The logs are just indicating of what the router is preventing.

I’d like to test the beta that keeps the RAX120v2 up and running. First three SN digits are 6JY. Thank you!

Is there a new beta firmware? My serial starts with 6JY. About 9 months ago I gave up on it completely and put it away in a closet, waiting for the day this investment is fixed in firmware. I am approaching the 1 year anniversary since I purchased this nightmare and I decided to take a peek at the forum. I set up the unit from factory reset today and I have had no issues on v40 so far. If there is a beta that fixes this once and for all, how do I get it?

Yes there is, best to request it on this thread though if you haven't already

I’ve done everything I can think followed every fix and still rebooting randomly could anyone provide the beta firmware to fix this stupid issue 😭😭

[bojajm2012]

Anyone have the new beta firmware? 

[FURRYe38]

Yeppers.

[merkx]

Could I kindly get the beta firmware for the RAX120v2, please!

[jkarppa]

Can I also get the new beta/release-candidate firmware?

Have two RAX120v2 routers. Both serials start with 6JY.

Both a are crashing/rebooting several times a day if they're in use (uptime resets). When not used at all (no wireless devices connected), no reboots. Streaming movies through Amazon FireTV triggers a crash roughly once per hour, even when using "safest" settings with only 5 GHz WiFi and no other wireless devices connected.

How do we get the beta firmware for the RAX120v2? Please share.

[AliCat6935]

if I knew id say, I was hoping someone would be able to share it from netgear etc.

[phobospt]

Hello,

Hello. Would also like that beta firmware if possible. Been dealing with the reboot issue for months. 

Serial starts with 6JY

[AliCat6935]

I’ve spoken to the support team and they were useless they asked me to downgrade the firmware which I’ve tried and the issue is still apparent really getting annoyed with this issue now

Until when is this firmware going to be in Beta? The download link says it's from October 2022, that's 5 months ago.

[FURRYe38]

When NG deciides to make it full release. No idea when that will be. We don't get that information here.

I just updated to this and had my network just cut out. Left it alone for an hour just in case it was still updating. Couldn't log into the router to check on the status of anything in my network. My networks would appear but say no internet access is available, not even wired.

After that hour I did a power cycle. Still getting the same issues. After multiple attempts, I had a factory reset. Same problem, can't login to change any router settings and getting no internet.

[FURRYe38]

Whats the first 3 characters of the routers serial number seen on the back sticker? 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

What browser are you using? Try MS Edge or Firefox. 

Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the routers web page at 192.168.1.1 after a factory reset. A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
