Must say most of the times it works splendid. But combined with VPN in the Netgear Nighthawk AX 8 Router RAX80 it would be 👍🏼

Having the exact same issues with this router as the first person described, random dopping of signal, dropping of speed, poor connection distance. The smart router setting makes everything even worse. I put in a ticket to resolve these issues about 3 weeks ago, nobody from tech support responded to me. Today I called in a talked with some one who had me reset my router and change the channel my 2.4 ghz signal was running on from Auto to channel 11. I told him I mostly use my 5ghz signal, he said oh its fine and this should resolve the issue, if not call back in a few days. Im no expert on the subject, but this "solution" has about a 0% chance of actually working.
