AX6000 RAX 80 print server absent!!!!!
Why is there no print server feature on that router?
It is like if a ferrari was not provided with reverse gear!!
What is wrong with that picture????

Which "the specifications"? I seem to see it in the RAX80 Data
Sheet:
http://netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/wifirouter/RAX80.pdf
Sharing
READYSHARE (R) USB ACCESS-Wirelessly access & share
USB hard drive & printer via two (2) USB ports
Which part of "& printer" is unclear (or absent)?

I'm willing to stipulate that all Netgear USB-related file- and
print-sharing software is garbage, but that doesn't seem to stop Netgear
from advertising it.
Thank you for pointing out the error in the datasheet this will be corrected. As for Readyshare print, this is not a feature currently on the RAX80 but is something you can request over on the Idea exchange board that I posted below.

Sorry Darren, this is a joke. There are users in the field using these ReadyShare USB Printer 8USB sharing) features - what reason exists to abandon the support on the leading edge Wi-Fi 6 product line? Yes, I understand (to much) about Kernels, drivers, software developemnet, crappy USB device handling on SoC garbage platforms, and much more.... If I coud get my fingers to a RAX80 and RAX120 I might be able to tell you. But for some reasons, critical community members are not supported and provied with beta test hardware in time. And no way, I won't buy any consumer stuff: Certainly not Wi-Fi 6 platforms known to lack of features which are key core features of Wi-Fi 6.
PS. FWIW the RAX120 Data Sheet does also list the same feature. Shame on the Netgear so called product "management". I had fired them years ago due to ignorance and lack of market knowledge and tech understanding - that's yet a new reason for one way tickets to Timbuktu.

I really totaly agree with you schumaku finally we should yellow vest ourselves!!!!
@Altsai @ChristineT @Christian_R any update please?
DarrenM you should be ashamed to present things like that. Netgear did not do any work at all into fulfilling their duty to provide some decent features on that product.
Your hardware is OK but the FW is a nightmare. Your FW remind me of Windows 10 a bloatware OS!!!!! 40GB of size for only the OS while on the process Linux is taking only 5!!!!!!!!
So shake the coconut tree a lot wake the nerds designing the FW and feed them when they did their work!!!!
I am thinking into migrating my device on Open-WRT because free products are better then paying products!!!!
If food stores acted like for example Netgear they would have close a long time ago!!!!!!!
RESPECT THE HAND IS FEEDING YOU PERIOD!!!!!
