All Specs
The Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 ($599.99) has the distinction of being the very first router we’ve tested that can tap into the 6GHz radio spectrum, making it the first true tri-band router we’ve seen. Powered by the latest Wi-Fi 6 E technology and an optimized CPU, this unique-looking router is loaded with features including multi-gig LAN and WAN capabilities, link aggregation, a beefy quad-core processor, and cyber threat protection powered by Bitdefender. At $600, it’s one of the most expensive consumer routers out there, but it’s also one of the fastest. Granted, Wi-Fi 6E client devices are few and far between, but if you’re an early adopter looking to future-proof your network, the RAXE500 won t disappoint.
