    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.
