Which "the specifications"? I seem to see it in the RAX80 Data
Sheet:
Amazing - after not finding anything related in the marketing Web pages and the User Manual I must admit I've stopped searching and missed the Data Sheet - a resource I'm usually checking when it comes to the business products feature availability.

Only a part of the data sheet information has made it to the marketing information - and the effective product. While I could life without, some users apparently can't.
Altsai ChristineT Christian_R any insight of what is (again not) going on with Netgear? Also ref. the WS Discovery feature which is key to the Windows 10 interoperability without having your customers breaking some legs and having to add legacy SMB 1.0/CIFS and NetBIOS features, lack of automatic local LAN DNS, the ability to configure a local LAN DNS servers overriding the router/ISP DNS - just to mention a few which are de-facto industry standards on many consumer and SOHO routers?
Hey I am the lst one not understanding aalexandrebeta frustration - see my email where I have announced ceasing from helping Netgear consumer customers from last night - because Netgear does obviously fail sticking ahead of the competition - not just with latest technologies and a lot of bells and whistles in the marketing.

Netgear must go back to its roots, the respect of those who are feeding and helping them to improve their products!!!!
They must have hearing or reading problems!!!!
schumaku I agree with you!!!!
If they do not act to solve their management issues I will go elswhere where the grass is greener!!
