RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots

[muniz_ri]

Same here. This router is a beast now that it works reliably. All good on my end for one week,

[tr4sh80]

Yep. I'm really glad I was patient and didn't dump the thing and drop a bunch of $ on something else. I had a feeling it would get fixed sooner or later.

Third party firmware also seems like a possibility, which is an added benefit in my opinion. The random reboots are certainly frustrating. I'm very optimistic about this solution!

[tr4sh80]

I'm gonna keep running the beta until official is released since it's solid. Saving the beta too in case official is screwed again so I can always go back to reliability lol.

How does one get the beta firmware?

Does it seem to fix the reboots?  Can WMM be enabled again?

Thanks

Send you a PM.

Just followed the directions and have an uptime of over 48hrs so far, where previously would reboot at least once a day.  No WMM changes needed.

I too would like to try out the beta firmware. Mine is currently rebooting every 5 minutes while downloading XBox updates and a streaming movie, along with other basic wifi loads. Thank you

[Treehuggert]

Can you provide me with the test firmware please?
Thanks.

[JMALEC75]

Updated to the beta firmware.  A little bit of a PITA with the static IPs I need, but was able to sort it out after a couple of reboots of both the router and the devices.  Other than that, so far so good.

One thing I did notice was CPU Load and Memory Usage don't seem to work any longer.  They show the date in the readout instead of the proper reading.  Guess that's why it's still a beta, ehh?

Fingers crossed...

Please please please provide me with this beta firmware!

I just bought this router and it drops connection enough times to make me notice and become frustrating.

[tr4sh80]

The latest beta firware finally fixes the issue. You can get it from @DarrenM here or wait for the official to be released.

[TheDude67]

Thanks buddy, I’m going to wait for the official release though. I bough this router because my older nighthawk was having issues and after researching it seemed this one was the best if the best. So far very disappointing with oerfmance and issues.

[tr4sh80]

Just request the beta from @DarrenM. It's been solid 2 weeks for me now and is finally the beast it was meant to be. Been a long time coming. Glad I was patient.

[mlm44]

The beta is working for me too. There is a glitch where the web interface shows the boot time for the CPU load and memory usage instead of percentages. I also noticed that there are no longer any DoS messages in the log (not sure if this was fixed or they broke something else). Otherwise the router is running solid, 4+ days without a reboot.

[tr4sh80]

It almost seemed like most of those DOS attacks where false positives because they were so constant....and it wouldn't surprise me if that was the core cause of the reboot issue. Routers tend to reboot after a certain # of dos attacks for security.

[bgnome]

I just noticed that CPU Load and Data Usage are being reported as Time and Date as well. Uptime is over 6 days so far..

[FURRYe38]

NG is aware. I presume that should go back to correct display on next full FW release.

Hi guys

i recently bought one netgear rax120v2, and so i have same problem that your ....

reboot some times, one per days or multiple per days ...

i searched for troubleshooting, i disabled all my wifi components, and added one per one

i founded one old pc that use a wifi card realteck (asus rog g20) and disabled it

for unknown reason, is wifi connexion is inconstant and when i disabled it, wifi don't reboot all times (10 times on one hour)

BUT ... now another problem, rax120 reboot for another reason

firmware as been upgraded and rax120 has been reseted and reinit but rax 120 reboot some time per day

@DarrenM, can you give me beta firmware ?

[J7x]

When will the fix be officially released? Mine is just getting worse and worse. I’m going back to my old trusty Apple time capsule until this gets fixed.

[tr4sh80]

You must send a private message to @DarrenM and he will provide you with the beta. I have 18 days solid without a reboot now on the beta.

[Phoenix85]

Hi, I have the same issue. I send a PM to @DarrenM , I just waiting a answer to receive a beta firmware and test.

[bobsbusiness84]

5 days on the beta firmware and it hasn't skipped a beat. It's great to see the real potential of this great router!

[tr4sh80]

I'm on 18 days and change 🙂
