Re Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream AXE11000 Tri-Band WiFi Router / RAXE500
1. What OS does this router use (linux)?
2. How do I SSH into it? WHen I try I get access denied. 2. How do I change the login time out? It seems to last just minutes. I am constantly having to log back in. 3. Logs? Support for a syslog server, SNMP etc.
Too modern/fancy for me, so I know nothing, but...

Some variant of GNU/Linux would be a pretty safe bet.

I don't know. I wouldn't bet that it's a supported feature. A problem with using SSH (or, on older models (and firmware versions), Telnet) to make configuration changes is that it can be hard to make such changes persist through a restart. Handy for exploration, though.

When you "try" _what_, exactly? As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
Especially when using a command-line program, copy+paste is your friend.
A complaint like "access denied" (as opposed to, say, "connection refused") suggests that there's some kind of sshd listening. I'd expect a user name like "admin" to have a better chance than some others. Of course, with my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you did.

Having the web browser save the credentials can help. I've never seen a documented/supported way to adjust that parameter (which gets occasional complaints here).

The User Manual mentions e-mail. My old D7000 claims to support syslog, but I've never tried it. (ADVANCED > Administration > Logs : Syslog) I've never seen SNMP support on a Netgear consumer-grade router.
