RAX80/Nighthawk AX8 Linux Kernel
Considering purchasing a netgear router - ie RAX80. Wondering what Linux Kernel build is underneath the surface, and if it is regularly updated. Thanks.

Very cool. Thanks! I'm currently running an ISP delivered one year old router that's on a 9 year old version of linux...

There's been a large test of home router firmware. All brands ship with outdated components and known vulnerability issues. Some get patched, others don't. Home router market is in a pretty sad state regarding its software components. I'd worry more about that than the kernel itself
