Slow nighthawk
Replaced my coal fired AirportExtreme with an RAX120 in order to take full advantage of our shiny new gigabit internet feed. The AE generated thruput,as indicated by the Speedtest app, close to 90...
What feeds the RAX120? The modem equivalent?

What does "rebuilt" mean? You bought it second hand?
Did you factory reset it before you out it to use?
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)
You might get more help, and use the community search to find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
- The router is a refurbished unit purchased through Amazon.
The router is fed by a new gigabit modem made by Arris.
It was reset and the firmware updated when I installed it.
I posted here because it IS a router.

Should you have enough time to search for "RAX120" or want to see what people who actually use these things say, try here:
