Hi schumaku ,
Thanks for your response. I do have the latest firmware (1.0.1.41) loaded which is weird because the one listed on the Netgear website is 1.0.1.36.

The other router I was considering was the RP7000p. Does the RAX40, aside from having support for wi-fi 6, also have superior performance to the R7000p (similar price point)?

Hello UpsidedownWorld - Smart Connect will be supported in the near future but we do not have an ETA of when. In the meantime, changes will be made to the RAX40 user manual.
