*New* Nighthawk CAX80 Release Date?
When will we get a chance to purchase the new Nighthawk CAX80? IS there plans for a CAX1200? Plans for a larger multi-gig port for cable modems like 5-Gig or 10-Gig?

The CAX80 showed up on Best Buy a few days ago:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-nighthawk-ax6000-dual-band-wi-fi-router-black/6398057.p?skuId=6398057
Doesn’t necessarily mean much, but the RAX50 showed up on Best Buy a little over 3 weeks before it became actually available for purchase - and it’s still on pre-order on Netgear.com.
The other thing is that someone responded on the availability question on BB, and mentioned issues about the CAX80 overheating and losing connection.
Any testers here can chime in about this?

Same as making comments about gear on BB that would be in testing. There's a point to beta testing and its usually to fix those types of issues.
