Do the RAX200's "wings" really not snap or click into place? They seem to just sit there, unsecured. I followed the graphic on the stickers found on the wings.

I just bought this router (RAX200) the wings fold into place then you push them down to lock them? I hear no click whatsoever, in fact, there is a tiny 2mm gap around the wings when they are fully 'seated' which makes this look sloppy. I can see thru where the wings are supposed to meet the router body. Can someone anyone confirm they are supposed to click in and lock? (or at least sit flush with the body?) $600 for this thing, it looks rather sloppy, is that a warranty item?

Ok so I assume this is the best Netgear could do and everyones has an ugly & sloppy gap all the way around each wing. Im assuming if you return for another you'll get the same thing. Also assume if you raised it with Netgear (which I have) they'll just claim thats normal. Yuck. The aesthetics are ruined. Why go 99% of the way Netgear and stop short at the final detail? Ugh.

Hi,The wings of the RAX200 do clip into place - once you flip them open into the vertical position then you push them down slightly until you hear a gentle click. To fold them, you reverse the process. But they do seem a bit flimsy, because even when they're in the locked position they still move about slightly. Cheers

I don't hear any "click" when I place them in vertical position then push them down. There's no resistance or reassurance at all that they'll stay there.

In that case you might have a faulty unit. I suggest asking Netgear if they can send you a replacement under warranty.

Gently push down on each wing, this should lock it in place.

  As mentioned above, I did push down on the wings. They do not "lock" into place. After watching some video unboxings and reviews, this seems to be normal for the RAX200 which is disgraceful for such an expensive router.

    Not the norm. Mine work as they should.

You could gently push down on each wing, see if that closes the gap a little. My opinion.....it’s designed like that. My gap is about the same as yours.
