Honestly Dustin_V, why does this "Target Wake Time" discussion deserve to be "pinned" to the top of this community? It is pretty clear that all pinned items are purely marketing materials, designed to benefit only Netgear, not the people who visit this "community" with a problem to solve.
Why not pin discussions that actually solve common problems discussed here?

I'm lost. I just had a conversation with someone asking about the new Netgear AX routers, and I had to tell him that none supported TWT as of right now... as stated on the side of the box, the product websites, and datasheets.
Please look into this for me or forward to someone that can help. I don't want to read anything into this but, without specifically mentioning a particular AX router, I am assuming all the AX routers will be gaining TWT via a firmware update very soon. Otherwise, IMHO, this thread needs to be deleted.
Many Thanks,

In my rant, sorry, I forgot to mention that I knew nothing of this thread until someone attempted to correct me for saying no Netgear AX routers support TWT at this time by sending me a link to this thread.
I guess what I am trying to portray is that this thread is somewhat misleading. I need to know how to respond as to whether Netgear plans on supporting TWT on any of te current AX routers, only future AX models, etc.
Many Thanks,

The RAX200 Data Sheet says - much less cryptic than the infromation we discovered before:
"This router does not support some of the mandatory features ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX specification, such as Uplink OFDMA, Target Wake Time, and BSS Coloring."

Same note on the RAX40 Data Sheet btw, too.
