Fast LAN/WiFi, easy config, integrates seamlessly

This router is incredibly easy to setup with a configuration console that's as shallow or deep as you want.

However, the upgrade to the wired LAN speed is worth the price of admission alone - just screaming now!Final point: don't pay too much attention to the negative reviews but do give it a few days to run its firmware updates (you can speed this up through the console). After that it should run fine and auto-update your initial firmware and I expect it to be smooth sailing from here on in. Best case ever for a router is you forget its there and your Internet connect just remains stable and transparent.Oh, and for those Star Wars fans out there, it totally looks like Kylo Ren's shuttle!

This router sure was expensive, here are some pros and cons:Pros:- Lots of features- Fast throughput- Good Range- 5Ghz band sometimes slows to a crawl (Under 2Mbps vs the normal 700+ I can get out of it) or doesn't allow connections or disappears altogether. This is a pro because of the amount of added suspense that the buffering and stuttering adds to your favorite shows and movies. Will it pause again? When will it pause? The random switch between HD and 480p as the site desperately tries to keep up really makes you appreciate the higher resolution (something we often take for granted)-DHCP: Any router can automatically assign an IP address to your various devices, a basic core function of a router, but this one combined with the blazing fast reboot ... MoreThis router sure was expensive, here are some pros and cons:Pros:- Lots of features- Fast throughput- Good Range- 5Ghz band sometimes slows to a crawl (Under 2Mbps vs the normal 700+ I can get out of it) or doesn't allow connections or disappears altogether.

Don't even try to reserve IPs manually, because it knows you need that sweet break time, and it delivers!- It looks like a spaceship, so throwing it out of your window in frustration allows you to pretend a tiny alien ship crashed on your property, fun for the kids and adults alike.- Firmware updates - these are a pain to have to install so luckily they are a bit few and far between on this $400 router.Cons:Can't think of one, best $400 I ever spent as long as I can pair it with something that can...route...and use it as an AP that only sometimes drops the 5ghz band or slows down to a crawl. Stop looking and give your money to Netgear right now. However if you're looking for something reliable that doesn't take forever to restart, can perform basic core functions with speed, and don't need all the bells and whistles, you could probably just spend less money on another router, but this one looks like a spaceship, so...2 stars, I would be more generous if it didn't cost $400

We had a struggling network set up in our 4 bedroom home. About 20 devices are connected and 2-4 people trying to stream at the same time. Network congestion was a real pain. I didn't know anything about wifi 6 until we were looking to replace our dying old router. The ability for our router to talk to several devices at the same time, has definitely helped congestion. Also, the 5Ghz signal can actually be used in the far corner of our house where previously the signal was too weak. We are very happy with our purchase, even if it is one of the pricier routers we've ever bought. In comparison to other wifi 6 routers on the market, the value seems right with this one.

More Expensive Doesn’t Mean Better…Avoid
12 July 2021

I had to return this router after about 30 days. The constant random disconnections from 5ghz signal made it impossible to conduct business and work from home. After doing some research, I found this to be a common problem with the RAX120 model. Also, being a dual band router severely limits the ability to take advantage of Wifi6 as you can either chose to run it in 80mhz mode (preferred by most legacy devices) or 160mhz, which provides true Wifi6 but creates issues with legacy devices that aren’t set up with Wifi6 hardware. Running it in 160mhz mode causes random drops in the 5ghz spectrum and it’s best to leave it at 80mhz mode; basically making it on-par with a high-end wifi5 AC router. Overall, it appears that Netgear rushed the RAX120 to market in 2019 and ... MoreI had to return this router after about 30 days.

Overall, it appears that Netgear rushed the RAX120 to market in 2019 and slapped Wifi6 on the box before the hardware was ready. Netgear has been promising patches for the past 2 years now to address the myriad issues that this router has but the patches have just created more and more problems. My advice is to save your money and go with the cheaper Nighthawk AX6600 (released in late 2020) as it’s a tri-band router that is compatible with both legacy devices and newer Wifi6 devices and gives you the best of both worlds. Don’t get caught up in the Netgear marketing hype of 12 streams vs 8 streams when choosing a router; the metric that Netgear uses is extremely flawed and is a way to get uninformed consumers to go for the more expensive router over the cheaper and more capable router. On the plus side, the coverage range of the RAX120 is pretty impressive, but that’s about the only thing it has going for it. You can get a lot more for a lot less money if you keep looking.

Poor Quality Control
21 May 2022

Netgear has certainly gone down quite a bit as far as quality control goes. If you're thinking about purchasing this router do some research into random rebooting/power loss on the latest netgear products. They seem to be plagued with them. This item was replacing a faulty power issue nighthawk mesh system that kept losing its connection with the satellites. From the moment of installation there was nothing but problems. Random reboots every 30 minutes. Checked the traffic meter and logs to see if anything popped up, nothing. It seems that the router gets so hot it shuts off. Tried putting my laptop cooling pad underneath it, not a solution just a bandaid. 45 minute reboots. Thought it could be a defective product, so I bought another one from a different location. ... MoreNetgear has certainly gone down quite a bit as far as quality control goes.

Random Reboots
18 March 2022

This device is rebooting randomly on its own; otherwise, during operation this device works as advertised. Immediately prior to the installation of this RAX120v2, I had for 6 years a Nighthawk R8000 which never rebooted on its own; hence, the setup and location (prior to current) is exactly the same with of-course the exception of the upgraded router to a Rax120v2. Netgear support tried the obvious things in their problem determination. Plug the router directly into a wall outlet eliminating an extension cord, they reinstalled the latest firmware V1.2.3.28, and when the problem of random rebooting continued, they had me perform a factory reset. None of the aforementioned corrected the problem which could occur in my case, once every 3-4 days or 2-3 times in a single ... MoreThis device is rebooting randomly on its own; otherwise, during operation this device works as advertised.

None of the aforementioned corrected the problem which could occur in my case, once every 3-4 days or 2-3 times in a single day. Seemingly the only constant with the reboots, is a variable when considering current conditions, and elapsed time in-between the random reboots. Unfortunately when I inquired with Netgear Support, they informed me that this device does not log error codes, nor can any traces or traps be implemented which is surprising to me. This leaves open the question for all, (clients, and Tech Support) of determining what the root cause of this random rebooting of the RAX120v2 is. My exchange for the same device has been requested and approved by Netgear and Bestbuy Tech support (whom have been outstanding and very through in their problem determination) and if the exchange solves the problem one could assume a hardware problem, and should it reoccur, it's likely an unidentified logical problem and I'll need to select a different model. Posted on the Netgear community forum is this same rebooting problem on this device that I've realized with the matching device model and matching installed firmware release number.

Way better than what I had
2 February 2023

I bought this router because I raised my internet speed, and it’s one of few I could find that had a multi gig Lan port and not cost a small fortune. I looked into other brands of routers that had the multi gig Lan port, but none had the reviews and recommendation like the Netgear RAX120. It increased my speed from the router I was currently using but I don’t have a WiFi6 device with 4X4 capability to test the wireless output.I get almost 1400 Mbps wired on my 1200 Mbps service, and strangely enough some of the features didn’t work when I first started using it, but now they do just out of the blue. I did a firmware upgrade first thing so I know that wasn’t why, the features just showed up all the sudden. Anyway the only thing I’m not liking is how you set up QOS, ... MoreI bought this router because I raised my internet speed, and it’s one of few I could find that had a multi gig Lan port and not cost a small fortune.

It increased my speed from the router I was currently using but I don’t have a WiFi6 device with 4X4 capability to test the wireless output.I get almost 1400 Mbps wired on my 1200 Mbps service, and strangely enough some of the features didn’t work when I first started using it, but now they do just out of the blue. I did a firmware upgrade first thing so I know that wasn’t why, the features just showed up all the sudden. Anyway the only thing I’m not liking is how you set up QOS, they a pre-labeled I’ve not yet figured out how to assign my own devices for that service, but I’m sure I’ll find out how somewhere. I’m not a networking person, i was schooled in hardware but there isn’t much that needs to be set on routers these days, just the special features you may want to use, and this router has tons of settings and features.

Wifi Great, USB soso
23 November 2022

The wifi function is great, with strong signals, wifi 6 and great ipv6 support. It is easy to setup and everything works great. The only thing I am not satisfied is the USB sharing. This model has two USB ports, which would be great if it can support USB-printers. I just do not understand why it does not support printers, and it should not have any technical difficulties, as the old wifi 5 models supports. And if I look at the list of verified USB drives of Netgear router devices, I found that the verified USB drives of wifi 6 models are fewer than wifi 5 models. For example, WD Elements hard drive works with R7800 not RAX120. I have two WD elements hard drives, and both are not recognized by the RAX120. Hopping further upgrade of firmware will improve the performance.

Works well, when it works

I purchased this router as a replacement for my NG WGR61.4 because of the excellent luck I had with it. Unfortunately the RAX 120 hasn't been the same experience.As several people have noted this model suffers from random reboots. I opened a ticket with NG and followed all of their recommended troubleshooting and continue to have the issue. I have upgraded and downgraded firmware, factory reset the unit, changed the MTU!?!?, etc, all with no effect.In addition to the suggestions from their support team I have also followed some provided on various forums. These include extra cooling, forcing the fan to run full time, changing the 2.4GHz quality of service, and even putting a UPS in line for power conditioning. Same result.The most frustrating part of this ... MoreI purchased this router as a replacement for my NG WGR61.4 because of the excellent luck I had with it.

Same result.The most frustrating part of this seems to be Net Gear's unwillingness to recognize that the product has an issue and send a replacement or a refund. To make matters worse my support ticket was automatically closed after 3 days because of inactivity while I was on vacation with no way to reopen it.At this point I've thrown my hands up and I'm looking into non Net Gear alternatives. Having an issue with a product is one thing, refusing to support that product is entirely different.

horrible product

purchased on May 2, 2022 here i am writing a review while on hold with netgear customer support. for those that don't know you only get full tech support for 90 days after the time of purchase. After that they will only help you to the point that they can rule out faulty equipment. After that if you want help you're going to have to pay for it.now onto my problem it randomly power cycles (restarts) when that happens i lose internet for a few minutes while it powers back on. if you're a gamer this is going to kick you from online matches and in some cases if you're doing an update on software for electronics this can cause your data to become corrupt.while writing this review their customer support hung up on me so im going to have to call them back.

(call was not dropped they hung up)I've ruled out my ISP (internet service provider), ensured its plugged into a stable power source checked over by a master level electrician, factory reset the router, and finally checked the firmware to ensure its up to date.to add to it the wings don't lock into place they just kinda sit there so if you mount it on the wall they will slide out a little. if you pull them out they fold in for easy packing. the best you can hope to do for a wall mount it have it at an angle so gravity doesnt pull them out.way way way to much money for the poor product and absolutely horrendous customer support.
