RAX120
Hi Everyone, New here. I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the RAX-120 and why it keeps losing it's network connection. I have been on the phone with Netgear support and escalated to t...
- For what it’s worth... after 7 phone calls, three case numbers and three times that the escalated support was supposed to call me but didn’t, on the advice of an IT friend I bought the new AMPLIFI alien router.
Can I tell you what a different experience it is. I followed the instructions and guess what? It just works. The on screen info is great. The app is simple and allowed me to do a firmware update. It connected my wireless (22 connections) at 840 MBs and my 31 Ethernet items (2 gigabit switches) without a problem. To add range I added a second one on the Ethernet backbone and now my whole yard is getting 800+ MBs.
I didn’t need to call for support. Didn’t need to reinstall firmware. Didn’t need to change radio channels and install a monitor program.
I’m done with Netgear. The router and mesh access point are getting returned. This is how it is supposed to work.
Best decision I made was to cut bait!!
I don't understand all this enthusiasm for Asus routers, which have a GUI with more options, but rt-ax88u and gt-ax11000 are full of bugs and Broadcom's AX radio chipsets have a ridiculous transmission speed already at medium distances.
While they may have issues, all router do, from experience they have a much better stable product that works while Netgear is still fumbling around trying to put out a product that maybe works or has more problems than people care to deal with.
Enthusiasm goes with the territory, you don't hear much in here do you?
Nobody is on here screaming from the rooftops that Netgear AX routers are anything to write home about, quite the contrary.
