RAX80 wishes
I'd like to see Plex and security like Trend Micro added to this device.

Buy a Asus router and you will have Trend Micro. Has to be licensed so would be upto Netgear to decide to pay for it. Probably less issues with the Asus as well.

Re: RAX80 wishes
My biggest wish for the RAX80 is for a Netgear manager to take owner ship of the router both hardware and much more importantly the firmware so that we do not have the same fisco that the current Broadcom based routers have. Poor firmware seems to be the norm for Netgear and the routers with Broadcom chips.
The firmware issues are what made me sell a r8000 and r8000p and to vow never to buy or recommend a Netgear router.

Re: RAX80 wishes
BTW is there a reason to not have auto channel selection on the 5ghz frequencies?

I guess they partnered with Bitdefender, but its not available with RAX80 yet (if ever) and its also $70 a year! https://www.netgear.com/landings/armor/?elqTrackId=41911040334d432081279174f9a158ad&elqaid=1977&elqa...

From the looks of it there may be a bit of gosh darn graphic, but I think what you are really doing is installing Bitdefender on all devices for $70. Depending on number of devices you have it might be a good price if that is the product you want. I run Bitdefender on my PC's and MAC laptop. Works well. They also sell a box that sits between the modem and the router to block everything early. Very limited number of routers and has been. Personally I would prefer Netgear focus on getting good solid firmware for all routers, then add in bells and whistles.

Re: RAX80 wishes
Yes it does, but this suggests installing also on devices.

At least that is how I read it. Only way I can see other then using VPN to home network to protect would be on devices.

Re: RAX80 wishes
The same way asus and tp-link do it. On the router. But you probably have license to install on devices also.
