Popular networking products manufacturer Netgear has launched the Nighthawk RAXE500 Tri-band Wi-Fi Router. The new router is the brand’s first-ever Wi-Fi 6E router and it makes its debut alongside the Nighthawk 4G LTE Wi-Fi 6 Router, the LM1200 4G LTE Modem, and the WAX214 and WAX218 APs.
The Nighthawk RAXE500 Tri-band Wi-Fi Router is built with expanded capacity to use the present 6GHz Wi-Fi band for higher-capacity, lower latency connections. The router is great for use cases such as simultaneously streaming 4K/8K video, video conferencing, and conducting distance learning. It also features the latest WPA3 protocol, which should provide enhanced security.
The new high-end router has a semblance with a manta ray, which is similar to other products on Netgear’s Nighthawk line of wireless routers. Netgear says the router can push beyond gigabit speeds for mobile devices, and that it offers a total bandwidth of up to 10.8Gbps.
Furthermore, the new Nighthawk RAXE500 Router features five-gigabit ports and two USB 3.0 ports on its rear. It supports multi-gigabit speeds via a compatible DOCSIS 3.1 modem, either through the RAXE500’s single 2.5Gb link or by opting for a multiport link aggregation method (which offers up to 2Gbps speeds).
The Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 is priced at $599.99 and will be available later this month while the Nighthawk LAX20 costs $299.99 and the LM1200 LTE modem costs $149.99.
