Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 Nighthawk RAXE500 Wi-Fi 6e router Revealed on Monday, the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 is a high-performance tri-band router that operates in the usual ranges of 2.4GHz and 5GHz for Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6. With regulators moving to make 6GHz accessible by networking appliances, Netgear has added Wi-Fi 6e support, allowing the router to communicate with more available bandwidth than previously offered. The ability to use 6Ghz bands means there's more bandwidth available to use, which can increase speeds and the capacity for multiple networks to operate in the same space. In the Nighthawk RXAE500, Netgear claims this offers up to 200% more spectrum than dual-band Wi-Fi using 5GHz and 2.4GHz.
