Hi Danny - this is a Netgear feature so I’m not as sure about this area. Did it work in .20? 
 

Did you upgrade to .24 to fix another issue or just in general? Because if just general you could downgrade back to the previous firmware for now as .24 contained a hotfix for Nintendo devices that were breaking the Device Manager plus some updates from Netgear. If these were not bothering you then a downgrade should be fine.

The .24 hotfix may have helped with Nintendo devices but primarily it was to patch a security flaw in TLS certificates, the router really needs a factory reset after this update and once again downgrading puts the user at risk when logging in because it exposes them to man in the middle attack. Security should always come first as if you have not updated and you get hacked Netgear wont help you, its in there disclaimer about staying up to date...see link below  (RAX120 has actually been updated too)
