- 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.

itsmehuey, I’m curious what your results have been with the latest firmware version. When you have time, can you post to this thread. Thank you. -Kyle
Mentioned a couple of times in other threads regarding the same issue, but will mention here too -
first beta was OK however I did run into 1 initial wifi drop about 10 minutes after installing.
second beta (currently on) has been rock solid for the last month with no drops whatsoever. performance has been good - tested with 3 WIFI6 devices and speeds are great. Both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands working and I've not had to disable anything in my settings.
One thing that I haven't been able to get working though is my new 14TB Western Digital external HDD plugged in through USB. ReadyDLNA works as a media server to stream between network devices/TV/phones/iPads, but I'm unable to get ReadyShare SMB working - ReadyShare shows as "Ready" but you can't see the USB storage device. Not sure if that's an issue with the firmware or just a limitation of ReadyShare. My 4TB Western Digital external SSD worked fine.
itsmehuey, I really appreciate the timely response. Are they giving you any indications on when they will GA that version? -Kyle

No problem.
And no, they have not mentioned anything and are likely not to mention anything at all. Who knows when a public release will be available. Netgear have been rather terrible with this device.
