RAX70 No internet on 5GHz, only 2.4GHz
I just got a used RAX70 and have it connected to my existing network through a switch - I have the network cable plugged into the switch and then into port 1 of the LAN switch. (I have a SonicWall set up as my main router and just wanted this for wifi.) I can connect to the 2.4GHz wifi and I get internet without any problems. However, if I connect a device to either of the 5GHz connections, I get no internet. I tried a factory reset of the router and changed the SSIDs of all connections, and my device supports 5GHz (Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra). Do I have to have the WAN port connected to get internet on 5GHz? That seems odd, but I've never really cared about it before. Or is the device just faulty? I'm getting an IP on the 5GHz connections, so that much works, but beyond that I'm not getting anywhere. Maybe I'm trying to use it for something it's not designed to do, but it's not the first router I've set up this way, so I thought I'd check. It's possible I'm missing something simple - any ideas?My router won't recognize my new 2Gig Wifi Speed
I have an Rax70 Nighthawk router. I just increased my internet from 1 gig to 2 gigs. I attempted to change the speed I got an error message. Unable to establish Wan aggregation. ( See Below). I have all Cat 6 cabling, OS - Windows, All firmware up to date. Any suggestions on what other setting might need to be changed? Thanks, Bob - Novice Internet Setup Does your Internet connection require a login? WAN Preference Error: Unable to establish WAN aggregation.

HI !.. i have a RAX70.. Brand new ( to me at least ) .. been fully functional for 3 full days at least haha. Upgraded the Firmware to 1.0.19.172 Just woke up today and 3 of the 4 ports' Lights on the router were not On. Just one was functional for some reason. Swapped cables on non working.. didnt help. Power cycled router and reseated cables that seemed to work . This a Common Issue ?.. hope this isnt an every day thing.. thanks much ! Hardware Version RAX70 Firmware Version V1.0.19.172Re: RAX-70 second 5 Ghz band drops randomly
I know I'm late to reply but I just bought one of these routers (rax70) and had same issue (it was disconnecting after about a minute and only on the fast 5ghz network). My resolution was to do 3 things to the fast 5g network, one was change from channel 100dfs to 128dfs, second was to change from wpa2 to wpa3 security and third was to change the adapter settings on the computer, setting roaming aggressiveness from low to medium and I haven't had a disconnect in over 2.5 hours. I'm using firmware V1.0.13.128 as that's the latest one that supports 4800Mbps on the fast 5ghz network, all firmwares after that nerf the fast 5g speed to 2400Mbps. Hope this helped.
