The only feedback I have is that it works without any dropouts so far but sacrificing some features like WPA3 which is an absolute joke as the router was advertised with WPA3 compatability..

Best thing you guys can do is bin the RAX40 and get another make like I have done I have no drop outs at all got all the features that they have disabled WiFi is much better and all devices connect correctly. At least they can do Is give us version 2 of this model free of charge as version 1 is not fit for purpose. I know it's not the best solution but netgear have gone down in my opinion and support is next to none, won't buy any netgear product again.
