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.)

no open source firmware.
still better than tp-link
Over all though, it was pretty good and for $50 it is hard to beat.

Just set router by connect with PC with ip address (192
168.1.1) and not bother going the nighthawk app on initial setup. That's the only thing I would feel.
With this, comes lesser quality components such as lower grade solder, and connections, wiring, etc.
Personally, I buy NOTHING electronic (or... well ... anything at all actually) from Walmart.
People might say "I gawt meyuh 8tch day tay-vay thurr ayund it dun wark't grayeet!" (Sorry, I live in Florida, and once you are more than a mile from Saltwater, they sound just like that. Lol)
But the truth is, companies like Walmart and Best Buy , (years ago at least, I don't shop there either) Electronic's are 💩!
I'm not sure Best Buy still does it, but I wouldn't be surprised. It was true back in the day... A truth that cost me a lot of money in a bet years ago. I bought a Top of the line DVD player at best buy ($299.99 lol) and my buddy worked at Sound Advice (RIP Sound Advice) told me I got ripped off. Yet the one they sold at his store was $379. I told him it wasn't true, and long story short, a bet ensued. I brought in the DVD player, he opened it up, and an identical model they sold, and internally, the difference was obvious, and vast. It cost me $380 for the bet, and I got a DVD player that was essentially $100 value that I overpaid for from Best Buy.
So the lesson here... Buy electronics from a good reputable dealer that gets higher quality items that aren't "negotiated before manufactured" prices
