LOADING...

The NETGEAR RAX5 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 AX1600 router with four Gigabit LAN ports, suited to households that want Wi-Fi for compatible newer and older devices plus wired connections for PCs, TVs, or consoles.

Recommended For

  • People replacing an older Wi-Fi 5 router in a small-to-medium home of up to about 1,500 sq. ft. who want Wi-Fi 6 while keeping support for older devices.
  • Households with a modest number of connected devices—NETGEAR recommends up to 20—that mainly need Wi-Fi for everyday browsing, video calls, and streaming.
  • Home-office users or households with nearby wired devices, such as a desktop, game console, or TV, who can use the router’s four Gigabit LAN ports.
  • Households that want router-level security features and are willing to evaluate NETGEAR Armor separately, since the included trial requires a paid subscription afterward.

Real-World Use Scenarios

  • In a small household, people use phones and laptops for video calls, streaming, and everyday browsing at the same time; the RAX5 provides Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for compatible devices while remaining compatible with older Wi-Fi devices. Actual speeds and coverage depend on the internet plan, home layout, and device capabilities.
  • When replacing an older router, a household with a mix of newer and older Wi-Fi devices can keep them on the same network; Wi-Fi 6 devices can use the newer standard, while earlier Wi-Fi generations are supported.
  • For a desk or entertainment setup, a PC, game console, or smart TV can connect by Ethernet; a wired link avoids relying on that device’s Wi-Fi connection, with the experience still limited by the internet service and network setup.
  • In a home with visitors or smart-home devices, the owner can use a guest network to give visitors separate Wi-Fi access rather than sharing the main network’s password.
  • When away from home, a user can use the router’s VPN support for secure access to their home network; setup and compatibility depend on the user’s device and network configuration.
