NETGEAR has announced, during the historic, virtually-hosted CES 2021, the introduction of the world’s first all-purpose Wi-Fi 6E router, the Nighthawk RAXE500 Tri-band Wi-Fi router. Promised to elevate the Wi-Fi experience by providing speeds up to 10.8Gbps 1, this latest addition to the Nighthawk line of performance routers ushers in a new era of fast connectivity on the new 6Ghz band, free of interference and congestion.
A CES 2021 Innovations Award Honoree, the Nighthawk RAXE500 Tri-band Wi-Fi Router is designed to provide the fastest Wi-Fi speed possible with higher-capacity, lower latency, and the latest WPA3 security. With cutting-edge technology, the new Wi-Fi 6E router from NETGEAR expands Wi-Fi for more capability, capacity, and experiences for a new world of uninterrupted connectivity while simultaneously conducting distance learning, video conferencing, and 4K/8K video streaming. With the new 6GHz band, this Nighthawk performance router delivers faster speeds, smoother streaming, less interference, and improved latency for devices and Wi-Fi-hungry applications for an overall enhanced experience.
Apart from the new Nighthawk RAXE500, NETGEAR also introduced two new mobile products: the Industry’s first Wi-Fi 6 mobile wireless router – the Nighthawk® 4G LTE Wi-Fi 6 Router (LAX20)- and the NETGEAR® 4G LTE Modem (LM1200).
The Nighthawk LAX20 router supports advanced Wi-Fi 6 networking technology delivering 1.8Gbps of high-performance Wi-Fi and improved network capacity to handle a greater number of connected devices on the home network.
