If you can get into your routers GUI.  You may find that you devices are being blocked.   Mine started with a couple then eventually all were blocked that were on the network.  Had to keep trying new devices until I could get in to unblock. I eventuly gave up did a factory reset.  I then rolled back to my old FW .   Has not crashed since..!   Hopfully Netgear is aware of the issue and is doing somthing about it..

    It might be! But the older version of 1.0.3 also has a lot of issues. I don’t have access to 1.0.2 firmware. Don’t know where to find it.

      Hello,

       

      my RAX40 has been upgraded to 1.0.3.80 on 12th.

       

      ISSUES :

      • Wifi have lost inthernet access after 8 hours >>> power off on
      • "Attached Devices" is not reliable as some devices are not there (wired or any WiFi on 2.4 or 5 GHz) or all devices from a WiFi chan

       

      to be continued
