I would take  it back while you still can...

I've had my RAX80 for more than three months & theres been only 1 firmware update which didnt address any of the issues people are reporting and only change some localisation settings for Asian markets.

 

And before a firmware update, Netgear have to accept there is really an issue....

I replaced my €350 RAX80 with a €79 Wifi5 extender and have had no problems since.

Clearly all of the reported issues are with the firmware or hardware design of the RAX range but no sign of a fix for even some of the issues after many months.
