Frustrated by the gimmicky design, firmware, and app. Not good value for the money... lots of options left out, like additional or virtual wireless networks. Add in instability and broken Smart Connect and it just doesn't make sense. Returning this and not going to buy NetGear wireless products again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This router is a beast! I replaced an older Netgear R6400 as my ground level router and in my basement had a Nighthawk R7000P. It used to be that in the basement my devices connected to the R7000P, but this bad boy is so strong that even in the basement my devices connect to this one. Pretty amazing.
After 6 years on my old Netgear router, 3 homes, and 3 cities. It was time to upgrade. The features are exactly what I wanted and this RAX50 met every single requirement I needed in a router. Better range, user app control and wi-Fi 6. Another awesome product that is sure to last me many years. Thanks Netgear!
This router does exactly what I need it to do and provides excellent coverage in a warehouse location without any dropouts. It was easy to set up and has been easy to use. Very happy with this router!
this router replaced my old router - wow !!! super fast connections - synced up very easy with my existing things in my home. very impressed with how easy it was to set up and its power to reach my rooms that were on a second floor not close to router !!! way to go netgear
