NETGEAR RAX50 vs RAX50v2

Does anyone know the exact technical differences between NETGEAR RAX50 and RAX50v2?

The firmware version differs which raises a few flags.

Different switch chipset? Different Wi-Fi chipset? Etc.

Is v2 better than the original?

Not sure if I should hunt for an original RAX50.

Local Best Buy had v2 on the shelf.

  • If it has a different firmware then most likely has a different/upgraded chipset that isn't compatible with the v1 firmware SDK.

    For exact technical details, you'd have to contact NETGEAR.
