Re: RAX40 dropping signal
Has anyone tried or heard any noise around the v2 RAX40 model?
I notice from comparing the two user guides, the only difference appears to be an upgraded CPU from dual to triple core.
So wondering if this might be the root cause of all issues on the v1 model? That being they tried to use an underpowered CPU to deliver all the features and functionality & it cant cope, this might also explain why on firmwware version .88 they have removed support for ODMA etc...
All looks very much like bad design from the start, which they are now having to remove features from the firmware so the underpowered CPU can cope.
If this is the case, the v1 product should be a recall and everyone should at least have the option to swap for a new v2 model (if its actually any better).

This company is shady as heck and there is no way I'd let anyone buy anything from them again. Friends don't let friends buy Netgear.

Cant say I trust them at all nope.... but would rather they replaced everyone's defective routers with an improved model, than us all having to purchase something else out of our own pockets.
Mines 18months old, so outside the hardware warranty anyway, so my only choice is to buy something from another brand and NEVER buy Netgear again.

Re: RAX40 dropping signal
That's it I'm out. Strongly recommended by in-law, I purchased Asus RT-AX82U. it's been up for 6 days and not a single signal drop. Moorland vpn never lost connection, All Teams meetings this week were crisp and uninterrupted, no need to switch Whatsapp video calls to cellular. I can say RAX40 was my worst purchase and mistake for 2020. Good luck y'all!
