You forgot to mention that RAX120 has actually quite clearly faster CPU than RAX200. Also RAX120 has 5 gigabit ethernet port, while RAX200 only maxes out at 2.5 gigabit. RAX120 also uses Qualcomm SoC while RAX200 uses Broadcom SoC. I'd always choose Qualcomm. Literally, the only thing going for RAX 200 is the extra 5GHz band. Everything else is better on RAX 120.
I just upgraded my Nighthawk AX1750 to the RAX120. Gain about 2000 extra feet of distance and 10 more wireless connections. I really don't recommending installing the Netgear armor though as many folks including me have noticed it effects the wifi shutting off and on. Don't install it.
I realize that I am way late to this video... BUT....@6:00 in you say that this router is "VPN compatable" The feature you are describing allows you to VPN into your HOME network from the outside. So you can access your home devices the same as if you were actually HOME. Please do not confuse this with a VPN service that VPN service providers use to help you bypass geo-blocks or your ISP capturing your internet activity. Netgear's VPN is NOT the SAME as "expressVPN" or "SurfShark" or "NordVPN" etc. you are using it to connect to your home not various places around the world.
Installed Nighthawk LAX20 about 6 months ago and now we are finding that our smart TV or even my laptop which is like 1 metre away starts to spool. Other than spooling it works very well. We have an old big house and the Nighthawk is located in my study and the TV is located at least 10 metres away in another room. Is there anyway to prevent the spooling? Thank you.
Can i hook up two external hard drive to this USB drive to access Ready DLNA ? or does this only support one USB for External hard drive and other USB for devices like printer ?
Can these products turn into a mesh network? Can I buy additional mesh extenders in the future to work with this? I’m debating between this and the Eero 6E

I wish u you had done speed test, file import/export test etc.
I just bought the rax120 after upgrading from my 10yr old Linksys. Range is like 100x better

Netgear or Asus? Don't know what is better
I’m thinking of upgrading my home Wi-Fi but I currently have the Linksys wrt3200acm but I’m thinking of the net gear rax200 what are your thoughts?

Which is the least expensive that would give me at least 300 ft of distance?
RAX70 vs RAX70-100 what's the difference?
No need for background music, its annoying, most of us here wanting to listen what you have to say, background music is distracting.
Good review, but you use a less loudy annoying background music, cos it just makes you want to stop the video after 2 minutes
