How did you work that out? A firmware number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
By the way there is no RAX500 that I can find. Do you mean RAX500E?
What about the various wifi settings? For example, is AX WiFi enabled?
There's a whole bunch of different options there to confuse as us all.
- scottunlvSep 01, 2022GuideI have had issues with other RAX routers. Similar issues with my RAX200 but it was 5G dropping.
I have netgear cm2000 modem. Just a modem. The settings are default so yes AX is enabled. It’s a RAX500e
