It has 2.2Ghz Processor not 1.8Ghz
Where/how do you see that? Netgear does claim 2.2 GHz for the RAX120 - whereas Qualcomm says that the IPQ8074 operates at 2.0 GHz. But here on the RAX200 we face - similar to the RAX80 - a BCM4908, commonly clocked at 1.8 GHz.

No your question was wrong!!! So NG are lying about their Router speed, in their own websites and Spec.? or you own NG?
Ask me? Yes it's a cool looking Router but not so cool looking UI or features!!! Yes it works, if you ask me? No dropping Wi-Fi signal, wired speed little better than Nighthawk X10 but thats all...........

For those who don't trust the Netgear information ref. other models models vs. SoC clock speed (there were some hints in the media that NTGR is making use of a specialized version allowing a 2.2 GHz clock on the RAX120) - create dedicated threads please.
For information segregation, instead of accusing or insulting other community members, may I suggest to stop any off topic posting - that's anything unrelated to the subject "Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router" (aka. RAX200) please.

- The RAX 120 uses an IPQ8078 (2.2 GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 with 1.7 GHz Dual Network Cores)
The RAX 80 & RAX 200 use the same BCM4908 (1.8 GHz ARM Cortex A53 aka B53 with a 800 MHz Network Core) Are we sure they aren't using a BCM49408 vs the BCM4908? I've seen both mentioned in multiple articles.

The Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router (AX11000 class, RAX200 - this thread subject) and the Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router (AX6000 class, RAX120 - off-topic here) are two different products. AX12, AX8, and (announcement on April 9th) AX4 are used as a designators for the Wi-Fi 6 (AX) and the number of streams. I've left my comment ref. the misleading naming and designations earlier in this thread.- No you are correct it’s the 49408 on the RAX80/200, sound similar so I get confused lol. Pretty similar to the 4908 with addition of the 2.5 Gbps Eth capability.
No, it's BCM4908
It's typo on both website...
- They’re practically the same feature wise but there was also a Broadcom info site boasting about the 49408 in an upcoming Netgear router (AX80 released soon after. I can’t imagine the chipmaker would themselves be wrong...... I’ll try to find the link.
- Well maybe it may just be the 4908, can’t find the site.
4908 and 49408 are the same. 49408 is major for enterprise segment not for comsummer.
- Yeah I figured that’s about the only difference but it’s hard to tell as sometimes the consumer units use those the “enterprise” chipsets like the Apple AirPort Extreme did.
- Looking at FCC internal photos it’s 4908 indeed, the AX88U however seems to actually be the one with the 49408, though the FCC images on that one are a bit blurry you can make out just barely make out the 494 portion.
