It absolutley amazes me that Netgear don't give a **bleep** about their issues and exect their customers to sort their problems????
Have lost all trust in them and reccomend that all prosective customers stay away from netgear, there are suppliers out there that care for customers and can deliver on what they advertise.

Hi guys - yea I confirm and agree. I turned off the AX features and that worked well for a few hours, but at 10pm we were watching the Watchmen on HBO on my Apple TV when the wireless completely went down, requiring me to go and power cycle the router. (By completely down, all devices lost wifi at the same time -- this was a new one).
Making me get out of bed in the middle of the movie was the last straw. I am giving up on this. I'm not sure if there are just a lot of bad units out there or if most people have simpler network requirements than I do (but I doubt it) but I'm done.
I flashed Tomato onto my old ASUS RT-N66U which had always worked beautifully until it was found to be incompatible with my work phone. Now with Tomato my old ASUS RT-N66U is again working beautifully.
I'm taking this Netgear Nighthawk RAX40 back to the store as defective.
Really appreciate all the tips and advice- was really hoping there was a configuration setting in there that I could just flip and all would be well. Best of luck all! I'm out.
