Great Router. Very Satisfied.
This was a refurbished router. Works like new. I am using it for an Access Point and taking advantage of the USB port in the back to have network storage. No Issues setting up. Very fast speed and great signal. For the refurbished price don't know why you'd by new.

Great speed
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.

Good hardware, garbage spyware/firmware, works mediocre as WiFi6 WAP
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<dot>routerlogin<dot>com" back at the router's name, and using that DNS name to access it, but that's a kludge at best.

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.

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.

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, it’s not possible to remove some unknown devices from the lists, which can be frustrating.
