Great performance and app
By Caleb L12345Pros: This device has performed exceptionally well so far. It’s very easy to set up and connect devices. The Nighthawk app is particularly impressive, offering excellent features such as displaying a list of connected devices. The internet speed is significantly faster compared to my previous Wi-Fi 5 router, which I had used for five years. Additionally, it supports connecting more devices simultaneously without any issues. Cons: The lists of connected devices displayed on the iPad and iPhone apps are inconsistent. Also, itâs not possible to remove some unknown devices from the lists, which can be frustrating.

Great features and specs for the price
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.

So far good
Amazon renewed router is working like new. I removed one star because the isolation feature of guest network is disabled in AP mode. So guests can see my other devices in network and the option to turn off is disabled. This is the second AP i have connected to main router ..all netgear.. the other AP router supports guest isolation.

Good hardware, garbage spyware/firmware, works mediocre as WiFi6 WAProuterlogin com” back at the router’s name, and using that DNS name to access it, but that’s a kludge at best.
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 “www

An Amazing Router
This router was a smart choice, it’s 5.4 Gigs. It took a while to get it set up but once it was ready, every device was processing faster. Also the fact that its range is greater than my house is incredible.

Setup of refurb router was smooth
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.
