If you have a "hefty router" than you are at least in the ~$2500-4000 spend range and most definitely didnt buy it from any brick and mortar store outside of maybe microcenter and its not a singular device, its multiple. Curious why you would invest that sort of money into a network if all you have

Nighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) router here. None of those issues and the router has performed flawlessly for 4 years now. I reboot and manually check for updates once a month and install w/o issues. So a blanket statement on Netgear routers (i.e. title) does not apply

I hate to update 3 weeks after the fact. But my wife saw me pulling my hair out over this nonsense, just said “Buy a new one” and I quickly abandoned troubleshooting. I have a brand new TP Link AX5400 replacing my Netgear product. Working great. I was a huge fan of Netgear before this but I dont hav

I've used TP-Link successfully for the last 3 upgrades. I use them at my office and I've set my dad up with one as well.

I ditched the google mesh routers because I had to reset them almost every day. I tried both gen 1 and gen 2. They'd work well for a while and then slow to a crawl. I bought a netgear wifi router and it has been zero issues ever since. This was the Nighthawk AX6.

I use a Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 router, no mesh setup and WiFi only on YouFiber 1000. I typically see speeds of between 950mbs/1000mbs, both up and down. Using WiFi 6 only, I can achieve that same speed on the third floor of my house, without a Mesh network, with my router situated two floors below.

So like the folks that commented here so far have said, you have to take a few things into consideration: -What speeds are you currently getting from Spectrum?-How many people are using the network?-How many devices are on the network?-How big is the building?-What is the layout of the building?

We did full troubleshooting with support, reset, updates and they basically just shrugged 😅 a lot of people report the same issue! It's a Nighthawk AX6 RAX50 (?)

I just did an install of a TP-Link wireless bridge kit tied into Starlink. Super easy, just need some mounting poles for the bridges. Setup would be: Starlink router > ethernet to first bridge > that bridge beams signal to receiving bridge > mount receiving bridge on the outbuilding > run ethernet f
