Re: RAX120 requires reboots weekly now- beta firmware available?

JayFiveAlive · ‎2022-04-08

Currently running the latest firmware from November 1.2.3.28 and about two months ago the router started randomly dropping wifi until it was rebooted. Tried factory resetting it, reloading firmware, nothing seems to help. Debating on making this my last Netgear router I own and putting it in the trash. I've only had it 1.5 years too. 😣 Figure it would be worth trying a beta firmware before I give up.

Any update on how the beta firmware is going? Same issue here? Any chance you could share the beta firmware?

JayFiveAlive · ‎2022-04-20

I've had the beta firmware installed a little over a week and so far so good for me.

RAX120HatesMe · ‎2022-04-20

Would you be willing to email it to me at jlrodriguezpena@gmail.com? Thanks in advance!

JayFiveAlive · ‎2022-04-20

Unfortunately, I agreed not to share it. If you private message Darren, he can provide a link though! https://community.netgear.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2257

Ok. All good. Messaging him now! 🙃

Update: I've updated the beta firmware and although it's more stable it still drops every couple of days. I've decided to disable WMM and see how it goes since others have had success.

I finally had to reboot after about a month... it's better for sure, but ideally I don't want to have to reboot even monthly!
