- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (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: 25
- 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 6 (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: AX, 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: 4500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (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. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 3 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Supported: 5 (Maximum quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes that are able to be connected to the main router in a Wi-Fi Mesh System.)

Q: Are the satellites wired, wireless, or both?
A: I don’t think they can be run as a daisy chain, but each unit has one Ethernet port on it. Except for the router which has the input and the Ethernet port. They connect through their own dynamic wireless connection.
A: Yes. This is also a router, so you won't need the Spectrum router. If you are paying rent on it, I recommend that you return it. You will only need the modem. This only has 1 LAN port. If you have more than 1 hardwired ethernet device, you will need an ethernet switch. If you are not paying rent for your router, you may be able to convert it to a switch, but not all devices can be configured like that. Ethernet switches are cheap - you can get them for around $15.
Q: Does this work with Xfinity?
A: We have Xfinity cable & WiFi services and our new Mesh system works great with that. It was easy to set up, and we haven't had it go down in the last 6 weeks since it was installed. Much better WiFi signal strength, and faster service throughout our home. Very pleased with the system's performance so far.
Q: Will this system work with NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC3200 Wi-Fi Router with DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem?
A: It should work and you have two options assuming your AC3200 is a combo modem/router. The cleanest approach would be to use AC3200 as a modem turning off the router functions. Then you would feed the ethernet cable from the AC3200 to the new mesh router. The other option would be to use both devices as routers. If you do that you need to be sure to use different wifi channels on the two routers to avoid interference. Hope this helps
A: I have two printers in different parts of the house and they can both be accessed from anywhere and from any computer,. The satellites should have the same ID does not make any sense for them to have separate ID's
A: They get power from an outlet and connect wireless. Super easy to setup and each one has a hard wire port as well.
A: The other 2 just needs to connect to a power outlet. Set them up wherever you think you'll need them (if multi-level home, one per floor perhaps).
Q: How many SSIDs can this unit broadcast?
A: undefined
