Hi,

So how do you like your AX12 router? Got the invite for the program, trying to decide what plan to pick.

Thanks.

Well Im going from an AX8, so really have not seen much difference.  Have only had a day so have not tried to push it yet to the limits.  I have approximately 48 connected devices in my home.  Off the bat, it seems to have a bigger wingspan (lol) and no wall mounting slots like the AX8.  The wings on the AX8 fit tight into position and the the wings on the AX12 just kind of stay in place because the unit is flat.  Maybe thats the reason for no wall mounting. I think it looks better on the wall in my setup. Range is a little better with the AX12.  No DFS channels on the AX12.  I don't think 160mhz is enabled yet, because I don't see an option for it.

    Thanks for the reply. would love to know more as you get more time with your AX12. So as far as I can understand you basically pay to lease the router month to month, year or two years. Then you give it back.

      It appears it is also eligible for upgrades as new devices come along.  That was my selling point since I only keep a router till the next best thing comes along.
