I’ll try donating a Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 in the next few weeks once its uprooted out of one of my “stock router for guests” networks.

Great!, When you have the RAX120 ready for donation, please PM me, I will send my token donation $100 to BS.
I have RAX120 and Costco RAX75 Also the TP-Link Archer AX11000 but its Broadcom based
Currently the better router with 210G ports is ASUS RT-89X:
