NETGEAR Nighthawk Wifi 6 Router (RAX200) | AX11000 Tri-Band Wireless Speed (Up to 10.8 Gbps) | PS5 Gaming Router Compatible

Product Information

With the standard WAN port used, there are four Gigabit Ethernet ports plus the 2.5G port for wired devices, which should prove sufficient for most people. You also get two USB3 ports on the rear for the fast sharing of storage, if you like to use your router for this kind of thing. Utilizzo il router collegato al modem fibra 200 MB di Tim, disattivando totalmente il WiFi su quest’ultimo, in quanto faccio gestire tutte le connessioni al router stesso. Ad esso sono collegati via cavo il PC windows della mia postazione, un NAS, e tramite un Hub le varie centraline della domotica presente in casa, mentre via WiFi, diversi cellulari, tablet, portatili televisioni e console da gioco, per un totale di una trentina di dispositivi mediamente connessi. The Netgear RAX200’s web user interface is self-explanatory, but it doesn’t allow deep Wi-Fi customization. 2.5G vs. 5G network ports I also had an Archer ax11000, with some other issues, but the signal was incredible, indoor and outdoors, zero problems with the cameras either or neither, whichever one, I never remember lol

Built around Broadcom Wi-Fi 6e hardware, the RAXE500 includes a quad-core 1.8GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and 512MB of flash storage space for the router’s firmware and settings. Capable of servicing 12 simultaneous data streams, the RAXE500 has beamforming to match the transmission characteristics to the receiver, MU-MIMO for serving a large number of devices and 1024QAM for increasing the router’s efficiency when multiple systems are demanding data. The RAXE500 can move up to 1.2Gbps on the 2.4GHz band, 4.8Gbps on the 5GHz band and an additional 4.8Gbps on the 6GHz band for a total of 10.8Gbps. Both routers sport similar aesthetically pleasing, futuristic designs, looking like hardware conjured by George Lucas. They are both massive with collapsible antennas. (The RAX200 is a tart smaller and lighter.) Both feature a Multi-Gig network port, which can work as a WAN or a LAN port, plus four Gigabit LAN ports, one Gigabit WAN port, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Switching to the 2.4GHz band, and speeds were less impressive: 104.24Mbps at close range, 80.86Mbps on the first floor and 78.13Mbps on the second floor. The main reason for these rather average speeds is that 2.4GHz is really congested where I live, so the router could only operate on a single channel.True. I still have some wishful thinking about the ASUS since is the one I’m going to get. But at least we know ASUS improves like crazy overtime.

I'm happy to report that the Netgear RAXE500's 6GHz band did excellently. The router topped the chart of the current three Wi-Fi 6E routers on the market. One thing is clear: This is a formidable Wi-Fi machine. It worked well with all clients I tried with it with no issues. Wi-Fi 6E: (Easily) fast but short-range Because some Wi-Fi 6 routers are mesh routers, we determine whether or not they have the type of aesthetic that will blend well into any space. Having several routers spread around your home or office, after all, isn’t exactly something to easily miss.Beamforming : Beamforming+ — Boosts speed, reliability and range of WiFi connections for 2.4 and 5GHz Hehe Netgear RAXE500 next to the the Wi-Fi 6E router, the Asus GT-AXE1100. Familiar web interface, mobile app, network settings, and features In raw bandwidth alone, this is at least five times as powerful. If you use Wi-Fi 6 clients like the Samsung S21 Ultra or the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 it is at least five times the maximum data throughput (Wi-Fi 5 is 866Mbps half-duplex, and Wi-Fi AC is 2400Mbps full-duplex). Netgear Nighthawk RAX200 tri-band AX11000, 12-stream router Specifically, this port on the RAX200 caps at 2.5Gbps. While that’s super-fast, the 5Gbps port of the RAX120 doubles the speed. So, if you want to maximize your wired connection — for NAS performance when hosting an external storage device, for example — the RAX120 is better. Slower CPU But even then, the Nighthawk AXE11000 still didn't have much more to shine in my testing than did the Asus GT-AXE11000 a few months ago. That's because the way I test Wi-Fi requires a "real" (Windows) computer.

So this router is ultrafast when it works, but with all this issues I’m getting rid of it. Especially because of the camera problem, which I have it on a window recording everything that happens at the front of my house. I would give them a chance with firmware and crap, but I can’t be with the camera cutting off every few minutes. I also absolutely hate the settings on this thing. So I’ll buy a cheap router, and whenever I can get my hands on the ASUS I’ll buy it again. I noticed no camera drops when using it at low quality, but the image looks terrible. At mid level is kind of acceptable quality and way less drops. Then again we buy those cameras to see a great image… Then there are two Wi-Fi 5Ghz bands. Both have 4 x 4 1200Mbps Tx/Rx streams and 4800Mbps bandwidth. You can opt for Wi-Fi 5 AC mode (if you don’t have Wi-Fi 6 devices). Wi-Fi 6 AX enables OFDMA and 1024 QAM aggregation (true 160MHz bandwidth) that allows Wi-Fi 6 devices to connect at the maximum 2.4Gbps each – very fast. And unlike Wi-Fi 5 or earlier, Wi-Fi 6 devices are full-duplex – the speed is both ways! What does this mean?

I used two Samsung S21 Ultra phones connected to the 6GHz and 5GHz bands of the router. As I walked around, the phone clearly showed the difference in the bands' ranges. These two Samsung S21 Ultras are connected to the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500's 5Ghz and 6GHz band at 45 feet (14 m) away within the line of sight. Note the difference in negotiated speeds. Nest was right, it can’t be their fault, even if it was, they don’t have to make a product compatible with technology that doesn’t even exist yet. I’ll blame ASUS, Netgear etc. Interestingly, this new 6GHz band is probably not where it's worth the money. At least not yet. Limited use of Wi-Fi 6E For tech-savvy users, the router provides advanced customization options to tailor the network to your specific needs. And to be honest, I'd question the validity of any other ways folks use to "test" the Wi-Fi speeds. There are plenty of them out there.)

best/fastest can be 2 different things. I've got a RAX200 but for my wifi I use my orbi setup. The RAX is fastest but what use is 400-600mbps on my phone or tv? 20-40mbps is good for most 4k devices if its a reliable signal. I use the RAX as the primary router and use Orbi as my wifi as it provides more coverage over my house and less dead spots. My house is 3200 sqft total. And there's more in the similarities between the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 and RAX200. The two share the same web interface, mobile apps, as well as what you can do with each in terms of network settings and features. Plus Dong Ngo must be a very good person, but I know he’s probably tired of seeing my weird explanations haha. so you put that your main goal is best speed over link aggregation for your NAS. In my experience, it hasn't been the link that's slowed my nas down, its been the hard drives/software. Also, does your nas have the option of 2.5g or 5g ethernet? Those are going to be faster than the link aggregation setup. Regardless, whats the max throughput you can put through your nas? if you'll max out the link aggregation, then you need to look towards the 2.5g or 5g ports.

Is the RAXE500 or RAX200 right for you?

Apart from the 6GHz band, the new Nighthawk RAXE500 is essentially the RAX200. For one, it's also a 4x4 router. It has four streams across the board in all three bands 2.4Ghz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Most impressively, farther out at 40 feet away, it still averaged north of 1200Mbps. This was partly thanks to the router's 2.5Gbps port which I used as a LAN port for the testing. That's because, as I suspected, Wi-Fi 6E, while fast, has a comparatively terrible range due to the high frequency. That's not to mention you likely don't have a real 6GHz client yet anyway. I remembered I had a problem with my ASUS PCE-AC68 not being able to connect to the 5Ghz band, and I thought ok let see why. So that thing can’t connect to any dfs channel for some reason. I thought ok maybe that’s the reason I can’t connect the camera neither, since I have an older nest indoor cam. But not the case, the camera sees the 5ghz band at all times but can’t connect at all. Tried everything, non dfs, dfs and my mother in law… In se è un apparato decisamente performante e soprattutto flessibile e si può gestire in remoto in sicurezza ed attivare anche la condivisione in remoto di un eventuale disco collegato alla porta USB3. L'attivazione del servizio DDNS è veloce e semplice. Ho attivato il mio servizio VPN usando il servizio Netgear by NO-IP e il file di configurazione scaricato dal router è perfetto, basta seguire le indicazioni e in 10 minuti mettete in piedi una vostra VPN al pari delle aziendali.
