RAX80 range is not that great
So, it seems the range is a little lacking. Using one Linksys Velop node placed in the same location would give me 5ghz and of course 2.4ghz to my outdoor camera. with the RAX80, I get zero signal....

People DON'T buy any AX wifi-6 router at this time. They are all full of bugs and your the beta tester for future purchases by others. These AX's were tested and believe it or not the R7800 out preformed them. This is new tech that will take a year or two to perfect in the real world. The latest and greatest are not the greatest and not worth anything for there current price tag. You gain nothing but a major headache.
Plus looking at Netgears recent track record with faulty broken firmware i would stay far away from giving them any of your hard earned cash.

I think even non AX routers have bugs. I have yet to find a router I am 100% happy with and I have tried many. I also keep in mind it's designed to work with AX clients of which there are non. It's really just working in backwards compatibility mode at this time.
