*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?
Is a date shown on this page or did you get it from a different location?

Best Buy hasn't added it back to their website just yet.
The date is shown on the page, right under the price ($429.99).
Screenshot attached below. :)
Got it. Had to open a different browser. Odd one of my other browsers doesn't show the date.
Ok. So next month then. :smileywink:
Hi!
Between the CAX80 and the C7800 - which has better 'range'?
I'm looking to get one and have found no solf chart or info on or comparison.

ThannksTough to say 100%. Reason why is broadcast strength is set by the fcc. And most routers are already maxing it out. The only reason the CAX80 might have better range is because its a wireless AX devices. They have a little further range than the AC but it wasn't a big difference. If you're needing more range, a wireless extender or moving to a mesh system would be a better plan in my experience.
