Thanks for your post. While looking at this, I found the RAX50 refurb is $59.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KFXF...gToDp&th=1

Is the RAX50 worth the extra $10?

I don't think this router is end of service. This is the product page,

https://www.netgear.com/support/p...rax43#docs

The latest firmware upgrade was in Oct 2025.

done with netgear and nighthawks. 100% with Asus.

Amazing when the modem goes down the asus auto connects while the netgear waits for me to reboot.

Merlin firmware is wonderful.

For real. I have an Archer 2150 something and I don't think I've updated the firmware since I got it.

So... about that... if you're feeling adventurous, you could try installing a modified Merlin from this Chinese forum on a Netgear R6300v2, RAX50, RAX70, or RAX80. Seems to also work with the RAX48 according to this Reddit comment. Don't know about the RAX43.
