Community Reviews
The RAX43 is an older WiFi 6 router that can still work well as a basic home router or even as an extender or switch in a small house. It has been described as solid and tanklike, and some units have run fine for years, especially when flashed with third party firmware. The main drawbacks are weak range, frequent drops or instability on some refurbs, and little official support or custom firmware support. That makes it a practical fit only if you are comfortable with older hardware and possible reliability quirks.
OpenWRT hobbyists choosing a Wi‑Fi 6 platform, because third-party firmware support is nearly nonexistent for DD-WRT and FreshTomato but OpenWRT is available on many Wi‑Fi 6 routers.
Small-house or apartment owners needing basic whole-home coverage, because the range is limited but it works fine in compact spaces.
Tinkerers using a router as a wired switch or Wi‑Fi extender, because it can bridge a back room to a garage over Ethernet and wireless.
Buyers who want custom firmware flexibility, because official support is gone and DD-WRT or FreshTomato support is little to none.
Homes needing stable everyday Wi‑Fi, because the router can be unstable, lag, and drop connections repeatedly.
People expecting long-term reliability, because units can fail early or stop working well.
Shoppers who need strong range across a larger home, because the wireless coverage is not very big.

I'm using it essentially as an Ethernet switch and wifi extender in my back room to extend wifi out to my garage.
