RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
The router reboots frequently sometimes every 30 minutes. I have noticed that the router reboots under heavy system load of +50% on the processor. The only way I have been able to drastically lesse...
- Installed beta firmware 1.2.3.33 on it and then turn fan on in debug.htm. Just check mark it , don’t click on apply.
And bought a cool pad from amazon $10 . 4 days in a row no restart and router works perfect.

Hey all, I've been using the latest RC beta firmware provided to me by DarrenM from Netgear and router has been solid for over 5 days now without a random reboot. I believe Netgear engineers have found and corrected the issue. Look out for this fix in next official firmware release. Attached is a photo of my status screen so you can see. Hopefully this router will kick as much as as it was made to soon!
Same here. This router is a beast now that it works reliably. All good on my end for one week,
- 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!
- 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.
