This is the RAX35, which is the Walmart version of the RAX40. The difference between the RAX35 and the RAX40 is the cheaper RAX35 does not have a USB port while the RAX40 has a USB3 port.

Similarly, TP-Link has the Archer AX3000, which is the Walmart version of the Archer AX50, where the USB3 port gets downgraded to a USB2 port.

There are two versions of the RAX35 and RAX40. RAX35v1/RAX40v1 used the Intel WAV654 chipset (the exact same chipset found in the TP-Link Archer AX3000/AX50).

Intel entered the WiFi router chipset business (separate from its own in-house WiFi client business that makes the Intel WiFi cards in laptops) when it bought Lantiq, but it exited the business pretty quickly and sold it off, which is why companies that used the Intel WAV654 have all made new versions of their routers using the Broadcom BCM6756. The new Broadcom versions of the Netgear routers are called RAX35v2 and RAX40v2, while TP-Link named theirs Archer AX55.

It's not clear if what you're getting is the v1 with the discontinued Intel chipset or the v2 with the Broadcom chipset. Either way, if you want to look for reviews and benchmarks, you might want to look at RAX40 reviews, since that's basically the same device, sans USB.

(Also, not sure what the first commenter has against TP-Link. The RAX35 and Archer AX3000 are comparable, and I wouldn't say that one is definitely better than the other.)
Looks like a decent price but lots of 1 star reviews. Nothing worse than a shitty router randomly and consistently dropping connection

If you look at its ingredients, this router has added bonus of being carbonated!

And while it does indeed say that, it doesn't speak to if it can be run in wireless bridge mode... anyone know by chance if it can?

I need the v2 model such that I can get the Netgear Smart Parental Controls instead of the Disney circle stuff... the circle has stopped working properly on my current router.

Ditched netgear recently due to random drops on the AX6300. Switch to TP-Link AX11000. So much more stable.

I bought one of these when they were B&M YMMV at Walmart for 49.99.

The router would drop connection about once a day and would not work again until rebooted. I ended up taking it back to Walmart and getting my money back. Problem occurred with original and latest firmware at the time. The lack of custom firmware compatibility was also a downer for me.
