- 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.)
- Security Features: NETGEAR Armor Cybersecurity protection
- 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: 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.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 2500 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.)
- 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.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
- 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.)

Product Manuals
A: I have 5000+ and all devices work fine.
A: The coverage from the RAX50S will be similar to the coverage you have from your RBK50, but the RAX50S can handle more clients due to the WiFi6 support.
A: I had the same problem. It took me a while eliminating all other possibilities including the internet service provider. The problem I had was a defective router. If I hooked up other routers, no problem. I had to contact Netgear support at least 4 times to go though their "troubleshooting," all which I had done but did again. Troubleshooting included hard reset, reloading firmware update, changing MTU size, etc. They finally acknowledged it was a defective router. My recommendation? Buy Best Buys Geek Squad warranty. It will cost you less and you will get better service. All the service reps including the second and third tiers do not speak English well and even after going through all their support, they still had to get "supervisor's" approval. Then YOU have to pay to ship your router to them. After they get it, they will ship you a replacement. I am still waiting on my replacement.
Q: Is this compatible with AT&T?
A: AT&T is your service provider. If you are using their gateway that has an RJ45 connecter to connect to your computer, then you can add this router and it will work fine. This is how I connected to my Uverse when I was on their service. Note though that this does not connect on its own to AT&T. You will need to have a modem or gateway to do so.
A: I have a similar set up for our townhouse and this router definitely has held up. We have a smart TV in the basement and my husband works downstairs during the day in our extra bedroom.
Q: is this compatible with Verizon fios internet
A: If your FIOS connection was installed with Ethernet and not MOCA, it will work.
Q: Is this router wall mountable?
A: Yes, it can be. They recommend M3 x 20 mm screws. This is in the user manual for your reference. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RAX50/RAX50_UM_EN.pdf
Q: How many devices does it support?
A: Right now I’m out house it covers 15 with no hitches was told that it cover up to 25.
