“Has anyone compared this with the NETGEAR RAX80? I appreciate the range and speed of the RAX80, but have been working with NETGEAR to resolve intermittent disconnect issues. How does the speed and range of the AmpliFi compare with the RAX80? Thanks!”

I've had both, and I've had those same disconnect issues with the RAX80. Eventually the Netgear just died and since it had issues even when working I didn't bother trying to replace it. The Alien has better range in general, slightly less performance drop-off as range increases, and never disconnects--it's rock solid. Plus, the Alien is better at meshing (to other Aliens, at least) and includes a free (if slightly proprietary) VPN. With the Alien, there's also none of that silliness of having to pay a monthly fee for advanced features (although there aren't that many aside from the VPN). P.S. - anyone want to buy a broken RAX80 that never worked right in the first place?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are having issues with netgear or linksys routers, just go ahead and return them, I 100% recommend the Amplifi Alien router, it has not had a single drop in these 2 days of signal and I know that because the router actually tells you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cannot speak to the netgear, but the Amplifi sizzles as far as speed but the main recommendation is the stability!!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had netgear xr1000, i think that'sthe model and I'd had to factreset that stupid router at least once a month. I haven't touched this one since setup
