Nighthawk AX4 AX3000 WiFi constantly going OFFLINE

- Should have searched the community forums regarding this - there are at least 5 other threads discussing this widespread issue plaguing the RAX40 and so many other RAX products due to faulty firmware. You have to revert to the previous version until Netgear fix the bugs in their firmware. Who knows when they will because they are so slack with support.
Factory Reset + Earlier Firmware = FIX
Per my post above, I did the factory reset (make sure you hold the reset button for 30-60 seconds) and then reverted to an earlier firmware and it’s been working perfectly since.
BAD FIRMWARE: V1.0.3.80_1.0.1
GOOD FIRMWARE: V1.0.3.64_1.0.1

No, that is not a fix.. that is a workaround.. A fix is when Netgear actually correct the issues with the firmware that was released (v x.80) as there were new features added as well as other tweaks in that version. They should also remove the .80 firmware version from the website/server as people unaware of said issues, will be downloading it or updating to it not knowing that they're in for the worst ride of their lives...
After downgrading to 1.0.3.62 on my RAX35 and disabling AX, I've been up for 14 days. When I was using 1.0.3.80 I had frequent lockups and disconnects.

yes this is the only workaround for now, until Netgear finally release an updated firmware. On the beta firmware I have not needed to disable AX and it has been working fine for the most part. Hopefully Netgear can hurry the hell up and release the updated firmware for RAX35 and RAX40 to all users. It's been months and months now of issues after issues yet they still have not done anything about it.
- How do you get the beta?
