Crashing on 5Ghz
Hey all
Just picked up the RAX120. Ran the initial set up, updated the firmware. All through the initial Netgear app wizard.
I seem to be getting crashing on 5ghz when using any kind of intense bandwidth.
On running speedtest.net or starting downloads via Steam or Playstation 5 the wifi completely drops out for 5ghz and i can't access 2.4 for several minutes, ethernet still seems to work at this time.
I've tried factory resetting and seem to get the same issue.

Re: Crashing on 5Ghz
Try manually reinstalling the firmware to it.
If something was corrupt in the update, a reset only clears settings, not overwrites the firmware.
So install it over a hardwired connection, then reset again, and reinstall manually (not from backup)
If that doesn't help, I'd either exchange it (since its new) or open a support case with netgear.
