Nighthawk X6S Tri-band or Nighthawk AX12

Hello guys!

My current service is Cox Gigablast Internet w/ a Netgear CM1000.

I ran a Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band Wireless Router a couple days ago and now I have the Nighthawk Ax12.

 

Having connection issues with the AX12 (dropping and resetting to factory everytime I push the reset/restart button; wierd) Really fustrated the AX12.

 

The Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band ran flawless and fast w/out issues. I want to go back, but the AX12 has a lot of the bells and whistles advertised.

 

Should I keep the AX12 and hope the issues gets fixed w/ a new firmware or go back to the X6S Tri-band.

 

We currently havce 18 devices connected to the router. 80% of it is connected to the SMART CONNECT (5ghz channel).

 

Appreciate any input! Thanks! Would love any advice on tweaking the setup to maximize my speed.

Is this the RAX120 or RAX200.

 

this will apply to both but I would also recommend you check the support pages too for hot fixes which need to be installed manually.

once you are sure it's up to date then perform a reset using the rear pin hole method. Setup as new with out using a saved config and see how it goes.
