I am using Smart Connect and WPA2+WPA3 and it has been very stable since the release of the FW. The problem is FW rendered EAX20 extender unusable. 

 

If you are using WPA3 only, switch back to WPA2 and give it a try.

Yes, I use Smart Connect and WPA2+WPA3, my galaxy S8+ don't support WPA3. Just a few new devices support WPA3. I belive I just need to be patient with RAX40. I know what I signet up for. Wifi 6 isn't quite finished

    I jinxed myself, we had some dropped multiplayer connections on Nintendo Switch tonight. I feel like this router needs to be rebooted every so often.

      Hello Nighthawk AX Community, 

       

      For those experiencing issues with the latest firmware version on the RAX40, may you confirm if you've taken a moment to revert to the previous firmware version to see if the issue persists. 


      Thanks,

      Christian

        I reverted to the prior version and the intermittent disconnects are gone.  Everything is fine with the prior version.
