- 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 Connected Devices: 25
- Number of Antennas: 4
- 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, 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.)
- 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.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 0 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)

Product Manuals
A: Simple answer no. The other guy is correct on the exclusive part but not on the specs. They are identical in hardware memory/flash/CPU except RAX50 "4.5X better performance than an AC router—6-stream WiFi with up to 5.4Gbps for fast wireless speeds" to the RAX48 "4.3X better performance than an AC route—6-stream WiFi with up to 5.2Gbps" due to the QAM on the 2.4Ghz band. Most wouldn't notice. Source Netgear data sheet https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/wifirouter/rax48.pdf
Q: Is this router compatible with FiOs?
A: Yes.
Q: Will this reach a detached garage that's about 50 ft away? If not, what would you recommend? Ty
A: Not sure about 50ft Away. I have been able to receive a good Wi Fi reception almost full reception up to 40ft away with 5Ghz connection on my cell phone. I needed 40ft to use my cell phone to turn on/off smart sprinkler timer instead of running back and forth to timer or the sprinkler valves in my back yard.
Q: Does this router work with Spectrum?
A: Yes, I have Spectrum and it runs great!
Q: Does this have built in security protection or vpn
A: it does have a VPN, see picture
Q: Can I use this router with a Motorola MG7315 Cable modem/router?
A: This will work with any modem, as this is a router. It takes your one line in to cable modem and allows for multiple connections through wifi or ethernet wired connection. Think of a router as a cable splitter
A: Possibly. Do you have a current router? If so, what type & how well does it work? What does this particular router add that your old one lacks? Our solution to reach from main floor to basement was to add a Range Extender. Find an extender that supports both 2.4 & 5GHz, with the ability to use one of the bands as a "back haul" channel. Ours is an older Linksys, but works perfectly well with 2 running computers & a Roku in the basement - with a few odd minutes of smartphone connectivity tossed in for good measure. MUCH less expensive than a "mesh" system.
Q: is this DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 3.1 device?
A: No, this is only a router. You need a separate Cable modem.
