Why Should I Upgrade to a WiFi 6 Router? - Blog

I too did the RAX80 and the first one updated to the .62 firmware and did not get the disconnects but couldnt get to the web interface on the local network.  I could get to it remotly with the app to reboot it.  I thought it was a hardware issue so I exchanged it at Best Buy.  The second one would work to get into the GUI for a few hours then stop.  I worked with Netgear support for a few hours and they got me to downgrade the firmware to about three earlier version.  This seemed to get the GUI working but then kept looing the 2.4 band.  With all this said I shouldnt have but I ended up exchangeing and going with the RAX120.  Best Buy has $100 off of the RAX80 and RAX120.  Still on the top end of the price range for consumer routers.  I have liked Negear in the past is why I wanted to stay with them.  I have had the RAX120 for a few days now and it has been great.  I have not had any issues and it has been stable.  The only thing that I have notice is that the thing never gets warm enough to turn the fan on. This could be a good thing but would like to see the fan at lease spin up on startup just to make sure it works.  I really like the way the router is designed.  I just hope this AX is not like the AD and just never go anywhere.
