Three trips to BestBuy,
RAX200 RAX120
RAX80
The RAX120 was a mistake. They let me walk in one of the two Best Buy's here swapping the RAX200 & walk out with the RAX120, was in such a hurry didn't check. Then, went to the only other one in my area & tried the RAX80 just to see if this could be corrected (WAN aggregation) which it didn't. Speeds fell to what everyone else posted. My last return on the RAX80, ordered at register offline for the Asus RT-AX88U (AX6000 Asus brand) & it's over 7 weeks, set up & going strong.
I am currently looking for a replacement for the CM1200, since it has ranging issues when trying to renew it's ID.... but between Xfinity's lousy service tech's & life, it's going to be awhile....

Netgear self far behind the interphase the app the security I could've kept Comcast modem for $14 and $40Indeed it was a mistake I bought mines on-line Went to register it, Ha Netgear decided to end the remaining warranty. I normally go to Best Buy favorite store to go to elite member there so I left another net gear product Due to major security holes With the modem issue is still unresolved.. So that's another issue with netgear I brought the rax80 last year during the holidays I believe For a super super cheap price at Walmart with a extended warranty but it's sucked. I got this rax120 over An month ago. And bought the CM 1200 from Best Buy replace one of my modems I had a warranty with it so didn't really pay much out-of-pocket for the cm 1200 I got that because it was multi gig and I was upgrading my Internet service with Xfinity to get better speeds and want to use my own modem. I was extremely disappointed when I hook the RAX 120 up thanking since it's Netgear premium top product it would include Protection such as the amor bitdefender something besides wpa3 since other competitive companies offered this with their premium top-of-the-line product such Asus,TP-Link Netgear self far behind the interphase the app the security I could've kept Comcast modem for $14 and $4 extra bucks for xfi Advantage giving me unlimited data vs me paying an extra 30 bucks to use my equipment and have unlimited. The wan aggregation Was working but I've noticed it's dropping a lot and I was using a cat8.Now since I disable the feature must be so great but to have so much speed and no security I can't use my armored Protection that I already have on my other router with rax120 ,and rax80 I think I'm just going to sell this piece of crap and I'm going with Ubiquiti either the dream machine or dream machine pro most likely better service data products and great customer service and most importantly to me protection they offer intrusion protection and intrusion prevention which I should be able to push throughout one gigabyte speeds or higher with the advance security and enable on the dream machine pro and roughly 850 MB on the dream machine. I'm about ready to get rid of all my stuff with that switches ,routers,extenders,modems and ect on both sides business and the consumer side.. I would definitely say I'll look somewhere else they give you more value for the money you paid NETGEAR doesn't even know if Or when they were bringing protection to the ax products or the new Orbi.. and being nighthawk app it is so basic certain things you can't do from the app but you have to logon to the default address or routerlogin.com, or routerlogin.net Which is not very secure and netgear tell the Consumer in the support article related to the routers we speak of to use the nighthawk app You cannot branch in that mode you cannot go on to AP mode filter block none of that through the app only on the web interface. Netgear really need to get together with their engineers and redo this whole new lineup over and provide the needed protection and features if they insist we use the app.
