RAX120 Is it ever going to be fixed

Ahh the famous RAX120 the expensive router I want to use but can't due to too many issues (already had rma tried most firmwares even switched provider and changed modems)
Unfortunately I would love to use this router instead of the d7000 but hey is there light at the tunnell.
What I want to know is there ever going to be fixes for this router?
Is there any beta firmware been worked on to try it out?
Thanks Ashley

This is the netgear community forum. Its rare to find a moderator on here and they don't discuss upcoming firmware changes. 

 

You're running the d7000 as a gateway? 

Does the RAX120 have issues when its ran in access point mode and connected ot the d7000?

Will give it a go I can also use the modem and run 120 in access point only problems is you don't get full functionality in access mode compared to router mode do you?

You do lose some functions in AP mode but the D7000 should be running those functions.

Are you using the D7000 as a modem?

Or what modem/gateway do you have?

Re: RAX120 Is it ever going to be fixed

the huawei also has its own integrated router into it like the D7000. 

It just doesn't have wifi. 

 

It causes a double nat and can cause issues.

It does when its unlocked otherwise its just a standard openreach modem.
