RAX200 "Wings" don't click or snap into place?
Do the RAX200's "wings" really not snap or click into place? They seem to just sit there, unsecured. I followed the graphic on the stickers found on the wings.
I just bought this router (RAX200)
the wings fold into place then you push them down to lock them?
I hear no click whatsoever, in fact, there is a tiny 2mm gap around the wings when they are fully 'seated' which makes this look sloppy. I can see thru where the wings are supposed to meet the router body.
Can someone anyone confirm they are supposed to click in and lock? (or at least sit flush with the body?) $600 for this thing, it looks rather sloppy, is that a warranty item?

I can confirm my unit's wings do NOT lock into place. There is no clicking and locking in place. They just sit there with a gap all the way around them.
It looks absolutely sloppy for something that costs this much.
- Ok so I assume this is the best Netgear could do and everyones has an ugly & sloppy gap all the way around each wing. Im assuming if you return for another you'll get the same thing. Also assume if you raised it with Netgear (which I have) they'll just claim thats normal. Yuck. The aesthetics are ruined. Why go 99% of the way Netgear and stop short at the final detail? Ugh.
ok so if you look at the wings head on from the front you will see they meet the body of the router nicely on the inside, but they lean in too much or are not properly aligned. I think if you bend the metal hinges outwardly a bit, it will close the gaps on the outside of the wings, thus making them meet the body better.
I did put a ticket into Netgearand they responded 'please contact sales, or the company you purchased the router from'
Helpful.... :smileyfrustrated:
