Connectivity
I am planning to buy a RAX200 router. Will I be able to connect it to my extender X6S? I have a smart home with >50 devices including switches etc. so need to upgrade.

Change brands. Netgear is a lost cause. I have had three versions of them throughout the years, I won't buy them again. Its "third stike, you are out" for me.

i went to Amazon site and was about to buy the RAX200 but there were several negative comments there w.r.t firmware and having to reboot on a daily basis. have these issues been taken care of ? As I live in a country where the item cannot be returned I have to be very sure of what I am buying. In our country the after sales service of Netgear is pretty bad as I had experienced this with my X6S R8000 router which I have had to condem as it had an issue with loss of connectivity.

I'd agree with the 3x strikes your out. I've used netgear and several other companies because I play with routers alot. And I've found issues with every manufacturer. Its the problem of manufacturing at large scales.
So again, read the reviews to see the positives to the negatives. they'll always be negatives with them all. So basically check your ratio's

Thanks everyone for your valuable information. I have had a problem with 2 of my Netgear products and after sales service is no existant in my country - so I'm going with some other manufacturer this time
