Well, I’m not sure - Maybe I am just lucky for now or there are models which are not affected, however, I have been constantly testing my RAX120 over few last weeks, and it is as stable as it could get.
No issues, constant speed on my 200/200Mbps connection. Great wifi range. I cannot complain really. FW 1.2.0.16.
P.S. I have around 10 WiFi devices in total (AX, AC, and some N clients).

Like I said, when they work, they work great.

But whe they don't there is no one to address the issue. It took me a couple of weeks to get mine exchanged under warranty, and after all that I got a referbished one with the same issues.
I have to say if you turn it one, change the SSID and password, and don't use any of the adverticed features, mine has worked normaly. If you add QoS settings, and/or MAC blocking once, it brakes. Not even a factory reset fixes it. I won't buy another Netgear device.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if Netgear's firmware programmers are understaffed or something. This can't be normal.
