Netgear Nighthawk RAX70 Tri-Band AX8/8-Stream AX6600 WiFi 6 Router

The Netgear Nighthawk RAX70 Tri-Band AX8/8-Stream AX6600 WiFi 6 Router is equipped with 6 internal antennas and capable of up to 6 Gb/s of total Wi-Fi throughout, Tri-Band WiFi technology delivers a massive combined wireless speed of up to 6.6Gbps. The AX8 optimizes WiFi performance by intelligently assigning every device to the fastest WiFi band possible and doing so allows devices to connect at their maximum speed. Even if everyone and everything in the home that’s connected to the Internet is streaming, gaming, working, playing, socializing, or updating at the same time, the AX8 won’t miss a beat—you’ll enjoy seamless clarity and zero lag. The Nighthawk AX8 comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port that allows for multi-gigabit wired connections. Two USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports let you share printers and storage devices, while WPA3 encryption helps to enhance security. Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) increases network capacity and efficiency through smarter traffic scheduling to manage high-bandwidth activities while simultaneously supporting your connected smart home devices. Wi-Fi traffic is managed more efficiently, transmitting data from different devices concurrently, rather than having each device's data wait for its turn. Twelve Wi-Fi streams, including four in the 2.4 GHz band and eight in the 5 GHz band, enable the router to send and receive more data from connected devices. Essentially, more spatial streams mean more available bandwidth and less congestion for all the devices in the Wi-Fi network. Nighthawk AX8 also supports sending up to eight multi-user MIMO transmissions at a time, which is four more than what existing Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) routers allow. Let your devices run at their highest speed over existing wiring. The multi-gigabit Ethernet port on AX8 is designed to give you five times faster speeds than the wired speed of a typical Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing your network-attached storage (NAS) devices, switches, and other devices capable of 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s speeds to operate at full capacity. Use the four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports to connect more wired devices, or combine two Gigabit Ethernet ports to further improve the aggregated file transfer speed. Eight high-performance antennas concealed inside the router's shell help extend wireless range indoors and out. The antennas are pre-optimized for optimal Wi-Fi performance. Router signals are amplified to maximize reach and reliability, letting you use your Wi-Fi in more places. Get stronger Wi-Fi signals throughout your home, whether for your basement gaming consoles or for your outdoor security cameras. The Netgear Nighthawk App makes it easy to set up your router and get more out of your Wi-Fi. With the app, you can install your router by simply connecting your mobile device to the router network; the app will walk you through the rest. Once set up, you can use the intuitive dashboard to pause Internet on your connected devices, run a quick internet speed test, and more.
