This router was a huge upgrade from my previous router. The range is great and set up was easier than I ever experienced. My only complaint is the long load times on the app.
I’d previous owned an AX120 and didn’t realize how spoiled I was until I no longer had it. I knew it was the right decision to get rid off as my apartment was far too small for that much wifi power, so I looked all over and through sheer luck came across the AX50, and boy does it ever fill big brother’s shoes! It’s as stable and consistently fast connection to all 8 paired devices, just as the AX120. The big reason why I got it this time is for a take-home standardizes exam. It turns out I was deducted two questions due to faulty connection, but with this AX50 I’ve yet to have any single issue. (HINT: AX120 NEVER did so I’m not expecting any!)
Easy to setup. Easy to configure. Quick speeds even with multiple devices running at a time. Would purchase again. Only thing is, wish it was a little cheaper.
Great router. We upgraded because of increased usage and this router has been awesome. The setup was very easy. I have always been impressed with netgear.
The RAX50 should be, out of the box, one of the top of the line routers out there. It does not perform that way and offer the new User lots of hours of troubleshooting to perform. The advanced features like OFDMA cause the router lose connection to often. I performed a firmware upgrade and it bricked the router. Another couple of hours to get TFTP2 method to restore it and load the newest firmware. Just really unfortunate performance.
