The Nighthawk AX8 RAX70 is Netgear's tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router, rated AX6600 with one 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands. It spreads capacity across three radios, so a busy home can put streaming and gaming on separate 5 GHz channels. It has four Gigabit LAN ports, one WAN port and a single USB port, and it handles VPN and WPA-Enterprise security. Against Wi-Fi 6 rivals it lacks link aggregation and a multi-gig WAN port, and it is not a mesh system, so very large homes are better served by a mesh kit. It suits households with many devices in a medium to large home that want fast Wi-Fi 6 without paying for a mesh setup.
