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.

      How can you revert back to a previous firmware version?

    I downgraded back to .64 from the support site. It's only been a couple days, but so far all the problems are gone.

    I reverted back to 64 and my EAX20 extender was able to connect to the RAX40 router. Other than my extender not connecting to the router therefore not extending the wifi with the new firmware , I dont have any significant issues.
