RAX120 2019Q1?

[coyote3]

I read that the RAX120 is due Q1 2019.  Which thankfully would mean within 6 days.  Hopefull, since my existing router is failing fast so I'm holding my breath.

Get it where?  https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/RAX120.aspx still says "COMMING SOON", my searches still show it available nowhere.

[coyote3]

p.s.  I know it would be prudent for me to wait to see how a new router SOC and newish design is recieved, but since my router is failing, and since I very much want WPA3 and AX and would love to not get a new router for years, I'm gonna take a leap of faith the moment it goes on sale.

Received mine today so Netgear is shipping them now

[coyote3]

Yay, thanks, that's exciting!  (Just under the Q1 'wire', too.)

I guess maybe you got yours without any being on sale yet because maybe you're in that beta program?

[coyote3]

(As I continue to hold my breath waiting for the AX120 to go on sale anywhere, I'm curious...)

How do the people who (somehow) got their AX120's last week like them?

Amazon has it listed for release on April 9th about 2 weeks or so back until they took down the page.

I see it's now available for pre-sale at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1469206-REG/netgear_rax120_nighthawk_ax12_12_stream_wifi.html

(where it says "Expected availability: May 27, 2019", which I'm choosing to disregard because I can't bear to wait that long).

[coyote3]

There's some available now at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1469206-REG/netgear_rax120_nighthawk_ax12_12_stream_wifi.html

Wow! That price tag is ridiculous. We'll wait six months and buy it for $200... like we did with our R9000

And now, on April 9th, it is on sale on Amazon.

[kc6108]

I see it's for sale on Amazon, but not on sale. Where are seeing it on sale?

[coyote3]

I'm sorry about that I only meant that it's for sale.
