- Model Number: RAXE290-100NAS
- Product Name: Nighthawk AXE7300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Color: Black
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA3 (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: 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.)

- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- 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: 10/100/1000/2500 (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, 6.0 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 6E (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: 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: 2 (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.)
- Number of 6.0Ghz Streams: 2
- 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.)
- Features
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- 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.)
- Integrated Modem: false
- Wireless: true
- 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.)

Whats Included

- Owner's manual
- NETGEAR Nighthawk AXE7300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Owner's manual
A: According to the manual and Netgear presales product support, the 40 device limit includes both wired and wireless and cannot be expanded. I'm still trying to figure out why they have a built-in limit rather than a "recommended maximum" because the hardware is plenty capable of handling more than 40 devices. I suspect it's a software licensing limitation.
Q: Is it worth upgrading from a Nighthawk x10 R9000?
A: It honestly depends on why you want/need to upgrade. 6E is a great addition, but I decided to upgrade because I needed more insight on my network to identify and locate problematic devices. This router does offer greater insights so that you can gain better control of your network. If you're not having a problem with your current setup, you should ask yourself what you hope to accomplish by upgrading or else you risk being disappointed when everything feels the same.
Q: Is this compatible with Xfinity Cable? in Danbury, CT
A: undefined
Q: Did anyone try this one with Oculus Quest 2?
A: Curious why you ask? I have a Quest 2 and use it quite easily with multiple routers. The Quest 2 does support WIFI6 (so AX), which might get you a tad more stability over just regular WIFI5 (AC). I've used it fine with WIFI5 - using Quest Airlink (the built-in way to stream PC VR games to it) and via 'Virtual Desktop' (generally, my preferred way to wirelessly stream PC VR to it). Quest doesn't support 6e specifically (the 6GHZ), nor does it need it (WIFI5 and WIFI6 are plenty good enough). I believe the Quest Pro might support 6e though. Maybe that means the Quest 3 will support 6e as well next year.
Q: Can you do SSID roaming between 2.5, 5 and 6G? Sharing the same SSID between them?
A: Yes. You can do this with both the private and the guest networks.
Q: Do you need a internet company to use?
A: You need an internet service provider to access the internet, but this router can function as a stand-alone if you have the need for a local network without internet. This router does not include a modem, so any internet connection will also need a device suitable for translating the internet signal into an Ethernet cable for your network.
