RAX120 2019Q1?

I read that the RAX120 is due Q1 2019.  Which thankfully would mean within 6 days.  Hopefull, since my existing router is failing fast so I'm holding my breath.

Get it where?  https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/RAX120.aspx still says "COMMING SOON", my searches still show it available nowhere.

Re: RAX120 2019Q1?

p.s.  I know it would be prudent for me to wait to see how a new router SOC and newish design is recieved, but since my router is failing, and since I very much want WPA3 and AX and would love to not get a new router for years, I'm gonna take a leap of faith the moment it goes on sale.

Yay, thanks, that's exciting!  (Just under the Q1 'wire', too.)

 

I guess maybe you got yours without any being on sale yet because maybe you're in that beta program?

Re: RAX120 2019Q1?

(As I continue to hold my breath waiting for the AX120 to go on sale anywhere, I'm curious...)

 

How do the people who (somehow) got their AX120's last week like them?

Amazon has it listed for release on April 9th about 2 weeks or so back until they took down the page.

I see it's now available for pre-sale at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1469206-REG/netgear_rax120_nighthawk_ax12_12_stream_wifi.html

(where it says "Expected availability: May 27, 2019", which I'm choosing to disregard because I can't bear to wait that long).

Re: RAX120 2019Q1?

Wow! That price tag is ridiculous. We'll wait six months and buy it for $200... like we did with our R9000 Smiley LOL
