  • General
    • Brand: NETGEAR
    • Model Number: RAX40-100NAS
    • Product Name: Nighthawk AX4 4-Stream AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router
    • Color: Black
  • Security
    • Data Encryption: true
    • Encryption Type: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA-Personal, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Personal (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
    • Firewall Type: NAT, SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
  • 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 Antennas: 2
    • 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 (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.)
    • Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 4 (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: 4 (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.)
  • Certifications Listings & Approvals
    • ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)

    • App Name: Nighthawk 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.)
    • Wireless: true
  • Ports
    • Number Of WAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Wide Area Network (WAN). This type of port may simply be labeled "Internet," and it allows the device to share its internet connection with all devices connected to it via LAN ports.)
    • Port Type(s): RJ-45, USB (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)
    • Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)

Q: Is it compatible with xfinity - comcast service

A: Yes, but it is NOT a modem too (you MUST buy a compatible Xfinity/Comcast modem too). I just set this device up for my Xfinity/ Comcast service, and it works great! However, in order to do so, I had to connect this WiFi router to a Comcast/Xfinity compatible modem. I bought the Motorola 8x4 Cable modem along with a GTOTd Coaxial Cable, which I connect directly into my apartment’s wall. Once this is connected, I plugged the NightHawk into it via an Ethernet cable and had internet access in about ten minutes. Everything worked like a charm, and the NightHawk app is great for controlling/ setting up your NightHawk!

Q: Will this get you internet and WiFi without a carrier?

A: You can’t have internet in anyway if you don’t have some kind of provider. Veryzon , Optimum, RCN etc

Q: Is this work on a fiber internet? And will it be faster then google wifi?

A: the fiber line into your house will be to a modem you can plug any normal household network device too so yes this will work. The speed limitation will be then on the medium you use. Wi-Fi will typically cap out at 250 mb/s and will get slower the more threads or the farther away you get. There likely won't be a noticeable speed difference between this and the google mesh wifi. For best speeds (cap at 1000 mb/s) you should use wired connections to capitalize on the fiber connection.

Q: Do you need a modem with the Nighthawk AX4?

A: Yes you do as this does not have the modem built-in it is just a router

Q: Does anyone know "Is this router compatible with Verizon Fios?”"? Thanks!

A: The modem Verizon provides can be plugged into any normal router. So, YES! enjoy.

Q: Will this improve performance of a 25 mbps plan from CenturyLink or is it best for those with more mbps?

A: The short answer is no. You will only get the speed you pay for, plus or minus depending on your provider and network traffic. However, depending on your current router, you should get a more consistent signal within your home. I bought this for my parents who have a home that is horrible for wifi. This router gave them a solid signal throughout their home. I hope this helps.
