This new firmware completely screwed up my RAX43. It started with a reset of all my SSIDs, but I just renamed them.
The real problem was wi-fi connectivty stopped working on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. It would only stay connected for 3-4 minutes and then die. I would have to reset router, and then it would die again in another 3-4 minutes. This kept happening and I couldn't fix it.
I finally reverted firmware back to an older version and everything is working just fine now.
I have never had any issues with my RAX43 until today, when I got this new 1.0.12.120 firmware. It has some real problems.

This is what my experience has been since last night. Reverting to 1.0.11.112 at the moment.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Yes, been doing this for a while. That is the first step. I even factory reset the Cable Modem.

Yes. Refer to post above.
It is likely that the new FW does not come through via Nighthawk app or the Router UI because end users are testing it. Will hard pass on that. I spent quite a long time testing RAX40 in 2020 before they sent me a new RAX43.
