RAX30

Hi
How rax 30 is compared to rax 70 in terms of coverage through the house including garage and garden ?

I previously had rax 120. Returned it after 2 days as it was repeatedly rebooting like nuts. Bought rax 30. But its signal loses in the garage.

Pls help.

Thanks
Dr Shaz

  • What's the size of the home in Sq ft. 

    RAX30 is fairly entry level and probably not great for larger sized homes. 

    Review the spec sheet for each of the models your looking at for wireless specs and speed information and handling.

    There is a FW fix for the RAX120 reboot issue.

      Thanks but it was too technical fix for a person like me. But thanks anyway.

      These are the dimensions:

      House – 10m x 7.8m
      Garden – 10.7m x 9.8m
      Garage – 5.8m x 3.1m

      I guess 310 sq m or 3336 sq ft.

  • Distance wise, most single router solutions are going to be pretty similar as they've all been maxing out their wifi broadcast power for years. You might get some differences in performance at those ranges on the higher end models but their actual coverage will be similar. 

    If you're needing to cover dead areas, maybe switching to a mesh system with a satellite would help versus a single router solution. How big is the home?

        The RAX70 should be good enough for that size of home.
