Netgear RAX70-100NAS Nighthawk AX8 Tri-Band WiFi 6 Router
Overview?
The Netgear RAX70-100NAS is a high-performance Tri-Band WiFi 6 router engineered to address the capacity and throughput demands of modern high-density wireless environments. Part of the Nighthawk AX8 series, this unit utilizes an 8-stream architecture to deliver a combined wireless throughput of up to 6.6Gbps. By leveraging a dedicated 5GHz band for high-bandwidth traffic, the RAX70 effectively mitigates network congestion, making it a reliable solution for small branch offices, remote professional workspaces, and edge deployments where consistent connectivity is critical.
Key Features
- – 8-stream WiFi with up to 6.6Gbps total throughput.
- – Tri-band frequency reduces network congestion.
- – 1.5GHz quad-core processor for heavy data loads.
- – Link Aggregation for 2Gbps wired LAN/WAN speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RAX70-100NAS support multi-gigabit internet speeds?
While the router does not feature a dedicated 2.5G or 5G port, it supports Link Aggregation (LACP). This allows you to combine two 1Gbps ports to achieve a total wired throughput of up to 2Gbps for compatible WAN or LAN devices.
How does the Tri-Band architecture benefit a small office?
Tri-Band adds a second 5GHz radio, which allows you to segregate high-bandwidth devices (like video conferencing systems) from standard office traffic and IoT devices, significantly reducing interference and “airtime” contention.
Is the RAX70-100NAS compatible with older WiFi 5 (802.11ac) devices?
Yes, the RAX70 is fully backward compatible with all previous WiFi standards, including 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, ensuring that legacy hardware can still connect while newer WiFi 6 devices benefit from increased efficiency.
