The RAX200 Data Sheet says - much less cryptic than the infromation we discovered before:
"This router does not support some of the mandatory features ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX specification, such as Uplink OFDMA, Target Wake Time, and BSS Coloring."

Thanks... that is what I saw on the side of the box of an RAX120 that I just setup for a friend.
My take is that TWT is not yet available on any of Netgear's AX routers. That is until I see some sort of confirmation from Netgear that it's been implemented in a particular model, such as in release notes, a datasheet modification, etc.
To be honest, when I first saw this thread, I wrongly assumed it was new. I didn't notice it was a couple months old. That's the main reason I was so confused. I actually thought Netgear was communicating to us that TWT had been implemented in their routers; not simply educating us on a particular piece of mandatory technology to be included in the AX standard.
