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...
I just bought the Costco version AX8 RAX75 and it's a piece of crap! Point Blank Period!
I have Netgear X10 AD7200 and Archer C5400 V2..... I had the X10 in AP mode in my son's BR and the TP-Link C5400 V2 as my main router. Costco had 100 off the RAX75 so I jumped on it. BOY! was that a mistake. 1st problem I had was I could not log in thur Safari browser, had to use chrome on my iMac. I went through all the cache clearing and stuff for Safari. After logging in use Chrome and setting things up I began to check things out, to my surprise the RX8 cannot be my main router so I set it to AP mode and put it in my son's BR and I'm now using the X10 as my main router. I put the TP-Link C5400 away for emergency backup. STAY AWAY FROM Netgear AX ROUTER FOR NOW!

So, I take what I said back. After biting the bullet, I set my new AX8 up in AP mode, well after a week or so, I decided to give it another shot as my main router, so I perform a factory reset and inserted the AX8 as my main router. Everything is working as it should, only thing is....I still cannot log into the UI thru the WEB with Safari. With Chrome no issues.Netgear support was very helpful. I'm on 500/15 thru Xfinity and I'm seeing 597/17 hardwired on iMac & Xbox One S .......... 444/17 on iPhone11 Pro via WiFi.........Happy! Fast web page loading, all devices connected with no dropped connections. YES!
