It should be enough for most but is less than the eight wired LAN ports that the TP-Link Archer AX6000 provides. If the Multi-Gig port is not being used, it can act as an extra downstream 1Gbps Ethernet connection there are four other dedicated downstream 1Gbps networking ports available for a total of five wired networking ports. Its connections are in the back, and the RAXE500 has a Multi-Gig data input port that can work with the latest broadband modems to deliver up to 2.5Gbps. The RAXE500 can move up to 1.2Gbps on the 2.4GHz band, 4.8Gbps on the 5GHz band and an additional 4.8Gbps on the 6GHz band for a total of 10.8Gbps. Capable of servicing 12 simultaneous data streams, the RAXE500 has beamforming to match the transmission characteristics to the receiver, MU-MIMO for serving a large number of devices and 1024QAM for increasing the router’s efficiency when multiple systems are demanding data. It adds up to nearly 5Gbps of extra data carrying capacity.īuilt around Broadcom Wi-Fi 6e hardware, the RAXE500 includes a quad-core 1.8GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and 512MB of flash storage space for the router’s firmware and settings. Compared to Wi-Fi 6 systems, the RAXE500 opens a wide expanse of 6GHz spectrum, more than doubles the available data channels available and offers an extra six ultra-wide 160MHz channels. Unlike traditional triband routers with a 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands, the RAXE500 is the first of a generation of Wi-Fi 6e systems that provide access to the 2.4-, 5- and 6GHz data-delivering bands. At $599, it’s roughly triple what some high-performance Wi-Fi 6 routers go for and close to $200 more than the similar-looking Wi-Fi 6-equipped Netgear Nighthawk RAX80. The Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 can be found through several major electronics retailers, and is presently one of only a handful of Wi-Fi 6e products available to buy.

Unfortunately, Netgear makes extended protection and additional security updates a subscription-based extra that could add nearly $200 to the already spendy price of the RAXE500.
Our Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 review shows that the new Wi-Fi 6e router adds lots of configuration options to the category-leading short-range performance, while keeping devices and the network clean with Netgear’s Armor security software.
