A good start would be to read the long list of messages about AX routers.

The age of my devices most are ac/n devices . But I wanted a new ax type router but after reading alot of people complaints i had a lot of dought on buying a netgear . So how has the new firmware improved on the router or are there still alot of issues.

I owned both the RAX40 and the RAX80. I say owned because I got rid of both because of the horrible firmware. I would recommend staying far away from Netgear, the comments here are proof enough of the ongoing unfixed problems these routers have.
