RAX80: Firmware quite buggy
I have bought a RAX80 (Firmware Version V1.0.1.70_1.0.30 )and have been setting it up for 24h now and while it shows an excellent signal coverage, the firmware is full of strange behaviours.
Last is the following: since I set the RAX80 in AP mode, the attached devices list do not show the device images anymore via the brwoser interface . Why is this?
Another issue is that the Nighthawk app shows the list of attached devices and if you edit one to change the name (eg Switch), when saving it always fails sith a "Sorry, the action was failed. Please try again. OK" ...
Is there a way to raise these bugs officially?
Is there a more mature/stable Netgear product with good coverage for an home of around 100m2 with around 30 to 40 devices?
Thanks

Sounds so familiar I'm afraid - almost a Netgear consumer BU standard. Hundreds of complaints, reports, alone here in the community an exactly these issues. Christian_R please: This is more than tiring...
Ouch I'm sorry to hear I'm not alone :( Will probably return it and go for an Ubiquiti Nano HD. Cross fingers.
Take care

- Strange comparison - I assumed you desperately wanted a WiFi 6 system. Netgear does have affordable wireless access points (WAC505, WAC540) - these can be operated using a device based Web UI (or Netgear's Insight cloud). For UniFi you need some additional controller, physically or on. virtual system.
