Netgear RAX20

details: 4-Stream WiFi 6 Router
hardware type: Wireless Router
date added: 2019-11-10
updated: 2020-03-03
The Netgear 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi 6 Router, built with the lastest generation WiFi 6 technology, provides speeds up to 1.8Gbps and greater capacity to handle more devices on your network, ensuring that you can enjoy fast speed and reliable streaming.

A quad-core processor ensures superior performance for concurrent real-time applications such as mulitmedia streaming, online gaming, and audio/video chats. This next-gen router is recommended for small to medium homes, up to 1,500 sq. ft., with 20 or more connected devices.

More WiFi streams means more available bandwidth and less congestion for all the devices in the WiFi network. The Nighthawk AX4 provides consistent signal strength to multiple devices at the same time so you can enjoy smooth gaming and 4K UHD video streaming, faster file transfers and backups.

Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) enables efficient data scheduling so that more transmissions can be sent at the same time, resulting in an impressive capacity increase in your network. This increased or available bandwidth allows you to add more devices to your network.

The AX1800 WiFi 6 Router supports uplink and downlink OFDMA to efficiently use air-time with better frequency reuse, reduced latency, and increased network efficiency. This is extremely useful for latency sensitive applications such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and Internet of things (IoT) sensors.
