Further up in this post there is a message from Christian_R from Netgear that their engineers are looking into an issue.
However, so far theres no confirmation of which issues they are aware of (because there seem to be some many) or a timeline for any resolution.

Thank you for the reply. I've decided to leave it in the family room (turned off) and I tell people it is a model of a new Star Wars fighter. At least it looks good.

lol, it funny but this was the main reason I bought the RAX router, not really for the Wifi6 (although that was a bonus) but this was the only high-end router that I could get "approval" for as most of the others have big antennas sticking up everywhere.
The RAX looked like something from StarWars so was acceptable stuck to the wall.
I just assumed that any branded router would be fine as I dont really have an special requirements & run with default settings & only change the SSID.
How wrong could I be...... My life has turned into a constant queue of people complaining the wifi isnt working or YouTube on the TV isnt working...
