RAX80 may not fully support 802.11ax
Read the fine print.
http://netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/RAX80.aspx
"This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX specification."

duckware I think you have some beef with these draft-based NETGEAR models. The competition is not any much better. ASUS not and TP-Link not
