Nighthawk AX4 RAX40 vs. RAX40v2
Hi, I've noticed there are two versions of the RAX40 available. (actually the same goes for the RAX35 and RAX38) https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/wifirouter/RAX40.pdf https:/...
I'd like to know also. If this is an updgrade. Is this an admission the RAX40 original is not fit for purpose?
In summary that I understand from another post (RAX40 Firmware 1.0.3.80 Crash/Bug Log)
1. The latest firmware (1.0.3.80) was unstable, crashing regularly, overheating, etc.
2. Referting to previous version (Firmware Version 1.0.3.64) made it stable but removed full capability.
3. Some users under waranty have reported recieving beta version with mixed results. This beta is not widely available.
Nice to hear from Netgear about the difference between these.
Netgear really need to come clean and admit that the faulty RAX40 v1 that we all have was replaced with a v2 and that’s why they haven’t even bothered fixing the firmware for the v1 properly. They should also be providing a replacement to ALL v1 owners to a free version 2 due to all the freaking headaches we’ve had to endure with this piece of trash.
What Netgear are doing is absolutely criminal.
