- Model Number: RAX49S-100NAS
- Product Name: Nighthawk AX5300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 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.)
- Security Features: Supports WPA3, NETGEAR Armor, NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- 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: 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 (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: 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.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (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.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)

Q: Is this a upgrade from my current R7000 netgear router ?
A: Yes indeed, this Netgear AX5300 is an Upgrade over the R7000 Router. First, the AX5300 is a Newer Wi-Fi Standard - Wi-Fi 6 (AX) vs Wi-Fi 5 (AC) for the R7000. Second, the Aggregated/Combined Thruput of AX5300 is approx 5300 Megabits (520 Mb/S @2.4-GHz & 4800 Mb/S @ 5.0-GHz). The R7000 has a Combined 1900 Megabits/Second (600 Mb/S @2.4GHz & 1300 Mb/S). Third, the AX5300 utilizes WPA3 Security vs WPA2 for the R7000. I upgraded my Very Reliable 3+ Yr. Old R7000 Router to the AX5300 over a year ago, and havebeen just as happy with this AX5300 in terms of Reliabilty & Coversge, And the Speed Increase for our Wi-Fi 6 Devices has been Great..
Q: Will this router work with Verizon FIOS network?
A: Yes I connected it to Fios without issue.
A: It depends. Usually when they release a new version of Wifi, they just add more bonded channels. 20Mhz, 40Mhz, 80Mhz and so on. I think 5Ghz supports 160Mhz, so each antenna is 40Mhz. 2.4Ghz I think only supports up to 40Mhz. A 5Ghz 160Mhz wide signal will have excellent speed and throughput.... if you live in a lead bunker or in the country. A 5Ghz 20Mhz wide signal will have consistent, no frills coverage. But, the range will be smaller. For me, it's about 20-30 feet.
Q: Can this take a at&t first net sims card?
A: No. No slots for any cards.
Q: woud i connect to my guest wifi for 2.4 Hz or use my primary for my smart light bulb?
A: That would be totally up to you, it would work either way. For added security, you could set them up under guest.
A: go to login at 192.168.1.1, hit cancel during login and then you see the reset page. Netgear really hates users and doesn't make it easy in their $300 cash grab slow router w/ ads and subscription services
A: Hi Jeremy, This is not a modem just a router.
Q: Will this router work the same as current one, Nighthawk AC1900 smart Wi-Fi router Model #R7000
A: Hi Rere, Yes but this router has a lot more features and range than the R7000
