ABORT MISSION
I have 2 dead ones sitting next to me. They straight up don't work well, flake out on connections multiple times daily.
Community Reviews
The RAX43 is an older WiFi 6 router that can still work well as a basic home router or even as an access point, switch, or extender in a small house. It has been described as solid and fast enough for a few years of use, and some units have run fine with custom firmware. The main concerns are weak range, frequent drops or instability on some refurb units, and the lack of official support or strong third-party firmware options. It is a better fit when you want inexpensive WiFi 6 hardware and can live with the age and reliability risk.
The router can work fine for basic home networking when it is functioning properly.
The router can be repurposed as an Ethernet switch and WiFi extender for reaching a garage.
The router can support third-party firmware workflows when vents stay unblocked for airflow.
The router can be used in an AIMESH setup after flashing multiple units for several years.
The router can be out of support, with limited options for custom firmware like DD-WRT or similar.
The router can show instability with random lag and WiFi drops, leading to returns before the return window ends.
Some refurbished units can be dead or fail to maintain connections multiple times daily.
The router's range can be limited, making it a poor fit for larger homes.

p.s. you have to make sure their vents are not blocked for the air flow. Packet drops may be caused by overheating.

is that the tmobile asus cellspot router? the one that can be flashed to an asus RT-AC68U and still get updates? i still have and use mines.
what happened to yours????
Wifi-6 is soooo much better, but 3rd party firmware support from DDWRT or fresh Tomato is almost nonexistent.
The answer is to use OpenWRT on a WiFi-6 router. Many WiFi-6 routers can run OpenWRT.
