It definitely gives what it says..I gig speed is being delivered.. the easiest set up. Works setting on a coffee table. Can hang on a wall but not necessary.. It is working 3 HD outdoor cameras. A wifi tablet, 2 Samsung galaxy S24 plus cellphones and also a streaming smart TV all at the same time without missing a beat... the design is stylish..Blends in with other furniture.. Netgear is the best in my opinion.

I love my new router, and cannot recommend it enough, however the app likes to alert way too much, and the range of the router is false. I had to actually purchase a wifi signal extender to be sure my entire home is covered.

I had a different Netgear nighthawk router fail (AC1750, firmware corruption) after 6 years and was frustrated with that issue. Maybe I'll regret buying another Netgear router in 6 more years but I decided to buy the refurbished RAX50 for $70 (might've been a limited time deal) and everything arrived very quickly. The only thing I saw that indicated it was refurb'd was some dust on the wall power supply - which is no issue at all.Setup in the Nighthawk app went smoother than I was hoping for and wifi speed tests on my phone/computer are faster than they were with my previous router (and same Netgear modem). I was able to setup the new router with the same SSID and password of my old router, so all my smart home devices were able to re-connect without headache.Overall, very happy with this purchase after onboarding. TBD about how long this one lasts.. but a quality router for $70 is a great deal.

Works great so far, I'll make an updated review if that changes, the router was delivered in a non-branded brown cardboard box but otherwise is like new. Power cables, antennas and manual in the box. Security seems great with built in firewall, VPN (extra charge) malware and virus protection built right in to the RAX50. Great speeds, wifi speed is faster than my old modem/router. Latency seems improved both wired and wireless. Wasn't a huge fan of the setup process needing to be done through the app and no obvious way to do it through the browser on my PC. Maybe I couldn't find it? *Price for the Netgear Armor security is an annual subscription at $100/year for standard, $150/year for "plus" not discounted. But it's optional subscription after the free trial. Subscription services like this are very anti-consumer.

Edit: After installing adguard home on my network and browsing the output, it became clear what a network hog and spyware repository this piece of garbage is, so I removed one of the stars, it's going in the trash bin, and I'll never buy another Netgear product again. It's *CONSTANTLY* pinging home to multiple netgear IP addresses, and when I say constantly, I mean like thousands of times per day. This diseased contagion is off my network for good.First off, the hardware works pretty great, especially for the temporarily discounted price! But I despise the slow, buggy, intolerably annoying firmware. This irritating device *REQUIRES* you to install a privacy-invading phone app, create a netgear account, register your device with them, and only *then* does it allow you to set up the device, and only in the most minimal way. Once you go through the annoyance above, you no longer need the netgear account or phone app, unless you ever need to hard-reset the device. The direct web interface is adequate to set the device up as a WAP (which is why I bought it), but I would not want to use this thing as my main router. The firmware is far too limited, slow, and poorly implemented for it to be a useful router. At the time I bought, it was the cheapest device I could find capable of being a WiFi6 WAP, and it eventually works well in that regard once the irritation of setting it up is over. As an aside/warning, if you set this thing up as a WAP, you'll want to set up a static IP address in the firmware. I didn't, and when I connected it to my network, it obtained 3 different DHCP addresses with 3 different MAC addresses, and abandoned them all, then eventually obtained a final one it stuck with. But it only gave the DHCP server its hostname for the first attempt. So, my DNS server thinks the hostname I gave it points at the first attempt, which is abandoned. It took me some sleuthing to find the actual IP address. Also, once you set it to WAP mode, the amazingly incompetent firmware won't allow you to change any networking settings, so you can't change it to have a static IP then.Speaking of DNS, once you do get it set up, if you use the DNS name to access it "RAX35" by default, the device immediately redirects your browser to some netgear site. Only by typing in the raw IP address can you access the router config interface. I sort-of solved this by adding a CNAME to my DNS server to point "wwwrouterlogincom" back at the router's name, and using that DNS name to access it, but that's a kludge at best.
