Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
I’d like to test the beta that keeps the RAX120v2 up and running. First three SN digits are 6JY and I’m using Xfinity, I believe my modem is the Netgear CM700. Thank you!

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
I have a NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Router (RAX120) 12-Stream Dual-Band Gigabit Router, AX6000, purchased in April 2022. Serial starts with 6JY.
The WiFi completely goes down about once a day, for 1-2 minutes at a time. I've tried everything, including updating firmware, disabling guest network, and a factory reset.
Will the beta firmware help ? If so, please send it to me.

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
Just got my router for Christmas and its doing what a lot are complaining about. Serial starts with 6JY. I am interested in the beta firmware. Manually rebooting fixes the issue. Leds on router show internet but all devices lose connectivity. Looking forward to testing this. Done everything that previous user stated as well.

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
I wanted to chime in that disabling WMM fixed this issue for me. I am still interested in an update that will allow me to use WMM again though as I read it is pretty neat.

Any idea when NG are going to release this to the masses and stop the frustration this is causing for so many of their customers?

回复: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
I highly encourage anyone who is having these issues on their Knighthawk to please disable WMM (uncheck both) and test it out. This may work for you until they release a proper fix.

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
It’s a Virgin Media home Hub 3 (UK) which I believe is an arris. Why does this make a big difference?

Because most ISPs supply customers with a combined modem/router. So adding a RAX120 to that means that you have two routers on your network.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect or block addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

It may be possible to put the Virgin modem/router into modem only (bridge) mode and then to use the second device as the router.

Some Internet service providers, such as BT in the UK, supply modem/routers that won't work in bridge mode. There may be ways to get the modem/router to cooperate. Sometimes it is easier to put the second router into AP mode. But that has its own drawbacks:

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
Was really concerned about putting a bit of firmware on you the router from the net but it actually works!! Ive even tried to crash it by overloading it with lots of streaming video.
Thanks to all.

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
I decided to give a try with another power adapter. I purchased a second-hand one for $10
to test. It was not designed for RAX120v2, but it was actual 60W 19V.
I reenabled all the previously disabled features like WMM, QoS rules and surprisingly enough it is still up (2d 8h days and counting). I know it’s not long enough to consider it a permanent solution, but I have high hopes - I never had it up for that long.
FYI I have never installed the beta firmware. Still on stock 1.2.8.40.
I will let you know once it reboots at any point.
Thanks!

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
Yes, I've got many reports back saying the beta fixes this issue on v2s. Working well.
Power adapters are not a factor in this either.

Re: RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
After using the beta firmware for about the last week, I can say that it does remedy the random reboots and wifi drops. Very pleased with the RAX120v2 since upgrading to the beta firmware. I keep mine in AP mode, and it works a treat!!!! I didn't experience any issues during the upgrade. The router rebooted normally after installing the beta firmware. I did a factory reset, as one should, and setup everything again. It has been working great for the last 6 days.
The only minor issue I have experienced since the beta upgrade, is I have notice that my Roku Ultra does buffer far more than normal. Compared to the R9000, the Roku buffers more on the RAX120. I rarely experienced buffering on the R9000.
Really looking forward to the stable release, hopefully soon, of the beta firmware.
Thanks again to @FURRYe38 for supplying the beta firmware.
Just FYI, I'm using the supplied power adapter. I don't think, at least in my case, the power adapter was causing my issues. Firmware fixed it for me.
