I had an RAX80 for about a year . I recently took it back for return. The problem it developed was that it would stop working . The router would drop the WiFi so my home cameras like the ring doorbell...

Sounds like you have the same experience as most RAX80 owners of the forum.
Unstable Wifi & the need to reboot often.
Mine is in the box on the shelf in the hope one day Netgear manage to get it working but after almost half a year without any feedback I have no confidence it will ever work.
As for Netgear products, I am currently using an EX8000 extender instead of the RAX80 and it has worked perfectly for the last 3 months. No reboots, no connection problems, stable speeds straight out of the box but as its an extender it is pretty limited in its additional features.
However, like you I am unlikely to recommend or take a chance on other Netgear products in the future with so many other brands out there.
