What's the current status of RAX120 in 2023?
Thinking of buying "Netgear Nighthawk AX12", mainly use as AP. But I read lots of bad review regarding rebooting problem. What's the current status on this? solid enough after firmware upgrade?

so you'll see a lot of reports from them on here as this is the forum where people come with issues.
So you'll see it a lot of here.
but if you're looking for mainly an access point, why not just get an access point?

The RAX120 is a waste for using it just as an Access Point. If you need that, just get an Access Point instead of a full-blown high-end router. It's overkill to get the RAX120 and use it as a simple AP.

plemans microchip8 For $200 range, you really can't get a good AP at this price. WAX615 only rated for AX3000 but weak cpu and memory.
- microchip8Jan 09, 2023MasterAn AP does not need top-of-the-class CPU and memory, that's reserved for routers that have to do a lot more than APs. All an AP has to do it forward to the main router.
