I am finding the RAX80 doesn't handle heat well, and performance is degraded if it is not particularly well ventilated. I purchased a second version of the same model to be sure, and the issue remained. I am getting good service now in my network at home, which includes the RAX80 router, along with the latest wifi 6 mesh extenders (not orbi), by placing a fan facing the router. Perhaps this could be addressed in the next wifi 6 router model.
@Christian_R several RAX customers have asked if there is a way to read the values of the internal temperature(s), the fan status, ... Few reports say the an is always on, but several users state the RAX, especially the RAX80, is running very warm. Wonder on how Netgear's support is checking these devices are running within specs if there is no (hidden) Web UI showing the details required?
