Again, really just going back to the 1st wave of AC devices, there were similar issues back then. All the kinks and issues we see are typically worked out by the time the 2nd wave of devices comes out. Unfortunately, while we like to live on the bleeding edge, sometimes we have to pay the price (both monetary and hardware/software issues). Don't get me wrong though. When the router works, it works very well. I just can't overlook the software issues, and I had the similar issues with the very first AC devices as well. The software simply isn't working with the hardware very well at the current time. Will they eventually iron out all the kinks with future firmware releases? Most likely.

Considering the widespread commonality of problems, the RAX80 should never have been released to production until these things were fixed. They aren't minor bugs or unforseen circumstances; they are blatant flaws.
