RAX80 drops connection at same time every day
I've purchased an RAX80 a few months ago. I've recently noticed that the router drops the internet connection at almost exactly the same time every day: at around 3:31am local time (AEST, Australia). (I have a Fingbox attached to the router which alerts me to network outages).
The wifi connections (2.4GHz and 5GHz) stay up (all devices remain connected to wifi) but no data is flowing from the internet. As soon as I reset the router (turn off/on), the problem disappears.
I'm not sure if this is related to a firmware upgrade. I'm running V1.0.3.106_1.0.50.
I have tried doing a factory reset and set up all my settings from scratch. That has not improved the situation.
Any suggestions?

I did come across this similar post but it does not have a solution either: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Routers-with-WiFi-6-AX/rax80-wifi-drop-once-per-day/m-p/1...

Thanks for the suggestion @Christian_R . I've downgraded to the firmware version you suggest and will monitor progress. I'll post back here either way.

Re: RAX80 drops connection at same time every day
Hi @Christian_R . Unfortuantely this doesn't seem to have worked. The router dropped the internet signal again this morning, and again at exactly 3:31am local time. Power cycling the router (on/off) restored the connection as usual.
It didn't drop the signal yesterday morning for some reason, which gave me false hope that the downgrade of firmware had worked.
Any other suggestions?
