RAX80 Smart Connect and AX mode?
Not sure what's going on but I just purchase the router about a week ago and have spent almost the entire week speaking with tech support people opening multipe cases for different issues. Granted so...

Constantly dosconnects even when in same room. Like you I have tried all different settings, in fact I could have written your post as the experience is virtually identical. After dealing with this since May 2019 and the last 3 months where I tried adding, deleting hardware such as adding signal extenders and taking devices offline I finally went and borrowed another router and puff ! all my problems were resolved...I am thinking there is a flaw in the hardware of the Netgear AX8 and not a software problem.

Exaclty the same for me.
My RAX80 hasnt worked correctly since I bought it, despite sending several log files I had no feedback which would eleviate any of these problems.
I put a Netgear Wifi5 extender (EX8000) in the same place in the network instead of the RAX80 and voila, everything works fine & I havent had any problems in 3 months.
