day-to-day performance is very good
AirDrop transfers were even quicker

the feature set feels a little basic
s visibly a cut above the mainstream
the interface ugly and confusing to navigate
clunky web portal
ping times were very inconsistent
The speed lost between this and most AX6000 routers
There is no multi-gig Ethernet port
RAX80 is expensive compared to its competition
fairly glaring lack of parental controls
it a bit difficult to see the LEDs during use due to the positioning
absence of an anti-malware solution and missing parental controls
there is no built-in malware protection
it refused to function without a modem reboot
not your normal box with separate antennae around the periphery
Wi-Fi on/off button and a WPS button
Missing are the gamer-centric QoS settings and anti-malware
high-end routers
Rollout has been slow
no ISP in India offers anything near that yet
discontinued and which are still available in shops
It lacks any built-in Amazon Alexa speaker or microphone
8GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM
