By the way, I haven’t tried the Multi-Gig port as a WAN, my Internet is sub-1Gbps.Might want to update the article, as there is now a mesh option for this router, the NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender AX6000 (EAX80)I was aware of the EAX80 when reviewing the router, Oscar. More specifically, the 2×2 Intel AX200 client will get the top speed of 1.2Gbps instead of 2.4Gbps. You can easily view connected clients, reserve an The router can work as a VPN server or a VPN client. Place it in the open, and you’ll get yourself a great conversation starter.On the downside, a current cost of somewhere between But, if you’re looking to upgrade your small or medium home to Wi-Fi 6 right away, the Netgear Nighthawk AX12 is definitely worth the consideration.The AX12 is a huge router, but that only means there’s more to love. My last ditch attempt is to change the SSID from what my old router used to be to the default one that comes when you factory reset. When placed in the middle, it can cover a home of some 2000 ft² (185 m²) with a relatively strong signal throughout.The router was reliable in my testing. I just got the AX12 Tri Band. The first and second LAN ports can work together in a Link Aggregation mode to deliver a 2Gbps connection — excellent for a NAS server, like the What makes the RAX120 stand out is the presence of the Multi-Gig LAN port which can connect at up to 5Gbps — this port can also work in 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps modes. You can only do that with Asus Wi-Fi 6 routers. Coming Soon This product hasn't been reviewed yet. That’s because, for years now, the 24GHz band is used mostly to make a router backward compatible with legacy clients.On the 5GHz things get a bit complicated. There might be a setting somewhere that causes the slow speeds.Your site is such a find, thanks for the excellent review. That said, no matter what router you use, 2×2 is currently the top Wi-Fi 6 speed. To have a Wi-Fi 6 network that’s compatible without compromising the performance, for now, you’ll need to use a tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router and dedicate a 5GHz band solely for Wi-Fi 6 clients.There’s also another minor compatibility issue. The best way to find out the Wi-Fi speed is to copy data within your local network, however. On its underside, there are four rubber feet for it to stay put on a surface, which is what you’ll need to place it.Not only the Netgear RAX120 router looks the part, but it also packs a big punch. We’ll notify you shortly.Support for simultaneous dual-band is ideal for connecting multiple IoT devices. Have iPhone 11 – loved using wifi 6 with it. Also just noticed that it looks like the RAX200 has a gloss finish compared to the matte finish of the RAX120.I am struggling to keep this as my router. Am trying to make sure I keep the house happy in lock-down Thanks, Nik. Again, considering the Multi-Gig port, the RAX120 has the potential of delivering ultra-fast network-attached storage performance when hosting a storage device.Though not evident, the RAX120 does have an internal fan under the top cover — it’s not easy to get to. For example, for security, the Netgear RAX120, as well as most Wi-Fi 6 routers, support stronger Wi-Fi password protection with WPA3 encryption. Just to confirm that both of my devices have Intel AX200 and Gigabit Ethernet.As it is now, 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 hardly outperforms a wired Gigabit connection, Nikita. But if you can’t wait, well, there’s the RAX120 that you can count on.The speed keeps dropping with every FW release. NO INTERRUPTIONS A 64bit 2.2GHz quad-core processor makes for a smoother, stronger, and more reliable 4K UHD streaming and gaming experience. The multi-gigabit Ethernet port on AX12 gives you five times faster speeds than a typical Gigabit port. And combining the top speeds of both bands (6000Mbps), we have the AX6000 designation. It looks like the short range is and long range on the 2.4 are definitely faster. It’s pricey, but it delivers.Keep in mind, though, that we’re still in the early stage of Wi-Fi 6. However, it’s still primarily a router. You need to take another look at this router.Thanks for the tip, LAH. Will the port aggregation slots or the multi-gig ethernet port switch modes to uplink for internet or did I just make a bad purchase?
