RAX20 dropping connection or extremely slow
Spectrum > Cable Modem (Charter/Spectrum) E31T2V1 Docsis 3.1 > RAX20 (V1.0.11.112_2.0.77)
I've had to reset my RAX20 many times. Not sure what is going on. It has been a persistent issue.
Maybe something is getting it into a weird state. Not happy, and even with a TP-LINK old cable modem/router combo, I never had these issues. Prob shouldn't have "upgraded".
After reset of the RAX20 ONLY, the speeds go back to normal. But here is a test showing the slow speed.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
