I suppose some of that could be fixed via firmware updates, but probably not all of it.
As long as it stays up, does not disconnect, and extends the range to the corners... then I am all good.
Sadly while reading the review published on Tom's Hardware there is one aspect that is an absolute dealbreaker. "The AX3600 sends out a single SSID, and we were not able to separate it into separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals." Certain older 2.4GHz devices don't behave normally when the SSID is identical for both 5GHz and 2.4GHz. And by behave normally I mean in some cases they simply won't connect at all. The now discontinued Logitech Harmony hub comes to mind as an example. Just something others might want to research with their older WiFi hardware before purchasing.

AFAIK, these Nighthawk MK8x MK7x MK6x are not discontinued but Netgear's newer and more expensive Orbi line tend to get more firmware update and "attention", naturally. I've read that some other manufacturers (TP-Link) are even worse with open vulnerabilities.
