Full Plex server support for Nighthawk RAXE500 AXE11000 Tri-Band WiFi Router

I just cannot believe Netgear spent all these resources in releasing the amazing Nighthawk RAXE500 AXE11000 and missed elementary capabilities such as support for Plex server. It is shocking to say the least. Many Plex users looking to upgrade from Nighthawk X10 AD7200 to the WiFi 6E will need a router supporting Plex server. Let alone those who want to buy a router for the first time that supports Plex but want it also to be capable of the leatest WiFi 6E.

 

Please add support for Plex server in you rnext firmware update for Nighthawk RAXE500 AXE11000, it is a no-brainer!

 

Thanks

    True - however big oversight is that the R9000 was a powerful generic application platform which allowed the implementation and operation of a router and Plex (with a bigger potential but badly ignored), not an embedded router platform as on the RAXE500 with just about the "right" resources for the router operations.
