- 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).)

- 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: AC, AX, 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.)

Whats Included
- NETGEAR Nighthawk AX2400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Ethernet cable
- Power adapter
- Owner's manual
A: Netgear tech support personnel assisted in setup - first tech had us use pc to setup, then back to ISP for some tweaking, second Netgear tech person, had us use smart phone (very tedious on smart phone). The installation took over 4 hours combined!!!! Instructions in package were of no help. The online user manual is 150+ pages in length!
A: Yes, that's the very reason why I purchased this one because my cable company stopped doing both and only offered 5ghz and I needed the 2.4 for my outdoor security cameras, works great too
A: No...and yes. During initial setup you need to be in range of the router to connect to it. Once its set up there is the ability to do certain things remotely. I can't say what all can be done remotely via the app, but I know it can run a speed test and be rebooted via the app.
Q: Is it compatable with Windows 11?
A: Yes
Q: Does this router have a coax connection?
A: No. That would require this to be a cable modem. It's only a wi-fi router and needs to be connected to a cable modem via ethernet cable.
Q: Will this work with spectrum?
A: Yup, they are my provider. No issues with set up.
Q: What kind of speed should I expect coming out of this router if I have 1Gig going into it?
A: Short version: This router won't limit your speed if you have a 1 Gbs internet connection. My connection is a nominal 1 Gbs, and I routinely get over 0.9 Gbs, as measured by Ookla Speedtest, using a wired connection to my desktop computer. Wired connection or wireless, all devices connected to the router share the bandwidth, so you won't get peak speed when more than one device is active. (Not a router limitation, just basic physics.) Longer version: There is no simple answer to wireless speed using a given device with the router. Apart from what I mention above, the speed depends on the signal strength at the device (which might have walls or other barriers between it and the router), the capabilities of the device, and interference from other wireless signals in the neighborhood.
Q: Is this a modem-router combo?
A: No
