RAX80 wishes

I'd like to see Plex and security like Trend Micro added to this device.

Hello Dmystic

Thanks for the suggestions of what you want to see on the RAX routers.

My biggest wish for the RAX80 is for a Netgear manager to take owner ship of the router both hardware and much more importantly the firmware so that we do not have the same fisco that the current Broadcom based routers have. Poor firmware seems to be the norm for Netgear and the routers with Broadcom chips.

The firmware issues are what made me sell a r8000 and r8000p and to vow never to buy or recommend a Netgear router.

I said the same, yet here I am again.

  BTW is there a reason to not have auto channel selection on the 5ghz frequencies?

  Some folks never learn. There are a number of other options besides Netgear.

    I have tried them all and there are issues in every company.
