- Model Number: RAXE300-100NAS
- Product Name: Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Color: Black
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, 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: NETGEAR Armor, NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls, Guest network access, WPA3 and VPN support
- 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: 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.)
- 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.)

Product Manuals
Q: Whats better this or the Nighthawk mesh system.
A: This… 1000% this.. had the mesh and it was horrible. Dropped signals, resetting daily.. it was beyond aggravating. This router covers our 2600 square foot house perfectly.
Q: Is this product compatible with Verizon fios
A: It’s compatible with any ISP. I currently run it on Centurylink fiber and it works great. Review incoming.
Q: It’s compatible with XFINITY / COMCAST
A: Yes - I would suggest you put your XFinity modem into bridge mode.
A: Yes it will switch to 2.4g to run all smart bulbs. And at full strength.
Q: Can you add an Orbi satellite to this router?
A: You can add any other device. But, if you want everything on the same network IP segment, the Orbi should be in AP mode. If not, the Orbi will be another router behind the this router. That can mean more NAT issues, and no being to reach everything from any device. I run a ASUS mesh system in AP mode behind this router for extending range. The router treats anything connected to them as just another device connect directly to it.
A: If you're using the port marked "Internet", it's limited to 1gig. The router supports WAN aggregation, but I'm assuming you have one link from your ISP. If that's the case, try configuring the 2.5Gig port as your WAN interface. Second, all of the LAN connections are going to be 1Gig as well. This router does support LAN link aggregation if you use the two aggregate link ports, which would allow you to have 1Gig + 1Gig = 2Gig to the device. Some computers, especially gaming computers, have two LAN connections for this reason. So, run your internet into the 2.5Gig port, and run two cables to your computer using the aggregate ports to get 1gig+1gig. At least that's how I understand it.
Q: Does it support a land line
A: Yes

Great router!
I bought this WiFi6e router to replace an older Netgear AC1750 dual-band WiFi5 router. This unit is a bit pricey, but it has 2.4GHz, 5.0GHz AND 6.0 GHz frequency bands, WPA3, a 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps ethernet ports, as well as the ability to connect up to 40 devices. This AXe router is SIGNIFICANTLY faster, with a much stronger signal and better range than my pervious router. Gaming and 4K streaming are smooth, with no discernible lag or disconnects. I like the clean, modern look with 2 "wings" rather than the 2 to 8 antennas sticking up that most routers have. (It looks almost like a B2 Steath Bomber!) If you're looking for a really good router, but also trying to future-proof your network for a few years, this is an excellent choice!

So far, So good Nighthawk RAXE300
Up until now all of my experience with routers has been with company provided ones. I took a leap of faith with this Nighthawk router to replace the Spectrum provided one and its been amazing so far. I pay for 1 gig and im finally getting what I pay for. Setup was quick and seamless, I like the fact that you can keep the 2.4, 5 and 6 channels seperate and they all have their own guest networks you can setup IDs for each one and manage them through the Nighthawk app. I have 2 devices that use 6e technology and the router sends them no less than 800 on download speeds over WIFI in a 2 story house. Keep in mind my router is placed inside of a closet on the bottom floor and this thing never misses a beat. Its a little pricey for sure, but you can actually control this router which i couldnt do with Spectrum at all. Highly recommend this product

Major Upgrade
Our internet was driving us crazy...constantly down and always slow. We upgraded to the Nighthawk AXE7800 about 18 months ago and haven't had any issues since. It's powerful and easy to setup/use.
