Nighthawk RAX45 drops wired connections
I have a RAX45 it started dropping wired connections regularly fix is unplugging from devices and plugging back in. It does not effect wireless connections at all. Set up is Fiberwire modem --> RAX45 ---> PC/Laptop/Mac all three lose connection and it requires unplugging and plugging back in. I'm up to date with the newest firmware and everything else looks good. Not sure what could be causing this. Any guidance/tips appreciated.

What's the firmware on the RAX45? A number is more useful than "the latest".
Have you tried a factory reset ion the router?
Is this "Fiberwire modem" a simple box rather than a modem/router?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Nighthawk Routers with WiFi 6 (AX) - NETGEAR Communities
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
