- Is the Nighthawk AX4 worth it over an older Wi-Fi 5 router?
- Yes, if you have Wi-Fi 6 phones, laptops or consoles and a home around 1,500 sq ft. It adds capacity for many devices and WPA3 security that older routers lack.
- How does it compare with the Nighthawk AX6 or AX8?
- The AX4 is dual-band with two antennas and lower top speed. The AX6 and AX8 add more streams, more antennas and better range, at a higher tier.
- Does it support mesh or extenders?
- It works with Netgear extenders, but it is not a mesh system itself. For a large home, a mesh kit gives more even coverage.
- What is in the box?
- The router, an AC adapter, an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and a quick start guide.
- Can I use it as a VPN or with parental controls?
- Yes. It supports VPN passthrough and Netgear parental controls managed through the Nighthawk app.
- Does it have a 6GHz band?
- No. It is dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz only; 6GHz requires a Wi-Fi 6E model.
