Has anyone else had stability issues with a RAX200 using the latest firm 1.0.6.138 and resolved it? I had to reboot my router multiple times a day with this latest revision. Falling back to V1.0.5.132 and disabling auto updates fixed it immediately - not a single reboot since falling back.
I tried for several days to troubleshoot but there was never any meaningful symptom or hint of root cause other than download throughput would go to a tenth of its usual or stop working all together. Rebooting the router would clear the problem every time. It's an all NETGEAR ecosystem with the RAX200, EAX80 extender and CM2000 modem. Bypassing the extender made no difference.
You may try backing up your router settings update to the latest firmware and then for a factory reset. https://kb.netgear.com/24231/How-do-I-back-up-the-router-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-router
I'm still unsure why this isn't solved yet.
Also, anyone else having issues with the WYSIWYG editor on this forum? I can't see the text as I type. I have to copy/paste from an external editor.
No forum editor issues seen here.

Hi!
Just like to let you know that there is issues with the latest update of the Netgear routers with the version: V1.0.6.138_1.0.76I have had constant DNS issues and for some reason when having DHCP turned on, my devices get my routers adress 10.0.0.1 in my case, as the DNS Server 1.
If i set static settings it works, but some devices cannot be changed, such as a Philips Hue bridge. also have issues with my Samsung phone, S21 Ultra, connects to the Wifi, no internet access.
So i downgraded to previous verison: V1.0.5.132_1.0.69All issues gone, all devices connect instantly with direct internet access.
I have tried reseting my router, I have downgraded to V1.0.5.132 then let the router update itself to V1.0.6.138, as soon as im back on the 138 Firmware it stops working, downgrading again makes everything work just fine again.
It quite scary that i bought such a "high end" product with a premium price to recive updates that are this poorly tested, if anyone from Netgear reads this please fix these issues and as of right now i wouldnt recommend anyone having automatic updates on their Netgear router.
If nothing is done i will not be a Netgear costumer ever again.
