RAX200 - Sometimes requiring full reset after it stops functioning.
A couple of times when adding things to the address reservation list then applying and saving, the RAX200 would suddenly drop its connection to the modem, LED on the internet connection light turning orange
Each time, I had to factory reset the RAX200 and reconfigure from scratch.
Has anyone else experienced this?

It's happen to me a few times, when it happened I tried power cycling the modem & the router but the internet light stayed amber. So I had to factory reset the first time it happened. When it happened again, I found that if I disconnect the Cat6 cable going to the modem, power down modem then the router for 3-4 mins. I then connect the Cat6, power back up the modem first, then the router, I had internet, this worked both times I tried it. Been running solid for almost a month on firmware I got from Christian_R a Netgear Mod.
You can PM him, with your S/N of your machine and a brief request for firmware. Good luck!
