lousy wifi AX1800 Wifi 6 router
i replaced my old Linksys with this newer Netgear. I get less reception. the 5ghz only works if you are next to the router. The 2.4ghz is weak in two rooms away. My Linksys was stronger that this newer product! I've put the NightHawk app on my phone, but no results of consequesnce. I'm ready to go back to my Linksys router.

Sounds like a setup issue. Are you looking for help? If so, you'll have to tell people what your hardware is.
AX1800 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
My guess is that you have a "RAX" devucem in qhich case this is the wrong place to seek help.
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
