- Network
- 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: 40
- Number of Antennas: 6
- 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.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 2500 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.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)

- 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.)
- Integrated Modem: false
- Wireless: true

Q: How many devices can be hooked up to his device without dropping wifi? I have 15 to 20 devices.
A: NETGEAR home routers can accommodate up to 32 clients per wireless band. This is a triband router so 96 connected devices. However, since the router's wireless channel is shared between all the wireless clients, adding clients will inevitably result in slower network access for all clients.
Q: How will this router do with gaming?
A: I got it last week it’s a big difference no lag or anything it’s worth it trust me !!
Q: Does this work with Xfinity WiFi?
A: Yes, I have Comcast/Xfinity and it works perfectly
A: Jason - yes this router improved my connectivity with Charter And I added ROKU to expand viewing options. My 10 year old router had problems with freezing, poor image quality and signal loss. It has also improved my video connection quality with Webex, Zoom and MS Teams.
A: Actually it's 3 bands. 1 band at 2.4G and 2 separate bands at 5G. I think you're getting confused with the number of "antennas" it has inside the fins to broadcast and receive the signals. Or BB screwed up the description. Anyhooo - it's 3 individual bands that you can set up and individually name and give individual passwords to. Hope that helps.
Q: is this router compatible with frontier internet provider
A: The router is Ethernet IP (WAN Interface). If Frontier is using DOCSIS you will need to plug their DOCSIS modem in the WAN interface
Q: Does this model have a USB 3.0 port for nas? I didn't see a photo of the back of the router.
A: Yes it does the usb ports are blue
Q: Is this model (RAX70-100NAS) wall mountable, and if so, how does wall mounting affect the coverage?
A: Yes, the model RAX70-100NAS is wall mountable. Even though I only had ours mounted for a couple of days before taking it down and putting it back on its shelf, we didn't notice any negative changes in speed or performance. (I just didn't like how it looked on the wall because of its size).
