- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 20
- Number of Antennas: 3
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 1500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home.

- App Name: NETGEAR genie app
- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)

A: I have a two floor house and have signal everywhere, even outside. It's worth noting that the 5GHz band has a shorter range and you should use this for devices that support it and are fairly close to the router. The 2.4GHz band will have a better range but may suffer from some interferences that the 5GHz band does not.
A: No you can setup the same exact network name and password on new router. And you will not have to enter in New network stuff to all your devices.
Q: With an internet speed of 200 mbs, what is the best type of wifi router to consider
A: First things first. The answer depends on the rest of your devices that you want to use and how far away they are from the wireless access point of the router. 802.11g wireless devices max out at 54mbs 802.11n wireless devices max out at 450mbs 802.11ac wireless devices max out at 1330mbs No device can go faster than your internet provider will allow it to go. (A 802.11ac device will not go faster than 200mbs when it is connected to an internet connection of 200mbs.) The other thing to consider is how many wireless devices will be used at the same time. If you want to use more than one at the same time then you may want to get a MIMO (multiple input multiple output) wireless router. 2x2 = 2in 2out. 3x3 = 3in 3out. MIMO routers have multiple antennas. If all the devices are in the same room then you can use just a wireless router. If your devices are at opposite ends or on multiple floors of a building then you may be better served with a mesh system. Google WiFi, Nest Connect and eero are all mesh systems. Mesh systems use multiple access points that are placed throughout a building in locations that are in the same rooms that you will be using your wireless devices. Some mesh systems connect their wireless access points together wirelessly using a 3rd channel. Others ues hard wiring to connect the access points. So it all boils down to how much do you want to spend, how much work do you want to do to set it up, how big of a system do you need and how long do you expect it last. (New standards come out that are better than the old ones. There is a new standard being developed as I write this.)
A: The router has antenna's which "push" and "receive" data across your network to your computer and other network devices. Some routers have one antenna, some have 2, some have 6, etc. Some of them even have antenna's built inside the router so you can't see them. Your computer has a wireless card with has it's own built in antenna (which you can't see), and it communicates with the router. Together, your computer and router use their pre-existing antenna's to send data back and forth. So- the short answer to your questions is No. Unless you live in a large house (or have multiple walls/floors which can cause the signal to have trouble making it through), you do not need to buy some sort of antenna.
Q: Is the router DOCSIS 3.0 compatible?
A: Routers do not interface with DOCSIS but they will be able to network with a DOCSIS modem. Modems are responsible for receiving the signals from the cable line which is needed in order to get internet from a cable internet provider such as Xfinity. Modems are the ones that use DOCSIS. Routers on the other hand, are responsible for spreading internet access across multiple devices. For example, through wireless signals. In order to connect multiple computers to the internet in a home or office you will need both a modem and a router. I hope this helps!
Q: Is this router good for gaming?
A: Yes it works great for gaming. My son-in-law uses it all the time when he comes over for gaming plus the grandkids watch Netflix on the other tv at the same time. No lagging or delays at all.
Q: R6400 setup.
A: You will need a modem.
Q: I get periodic 5 minute dropping of just my wireless signal, not the wired signal. Any ideas?
A: Do you have other wireless devices in the home? Maybe getting interference from other electronic devices even from the neighbors. If you have a cordless phone in the home operating on the 2.4ghz it could be interferring also. I recommend going into wireless setup and change the channel it is operating on. Typically the wireless channel is set to auto. If it is try channel 11, 6, or 7 and see if that helps. Not sure what best channel is for 5g band, sorry... Good Luck!!!
