Frequently Asked Questions

Netgear Nighthawk AX8 AX6600 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Router (RAX70-100NAS) | Like New

How fast is the NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX70?
The RAX70 is rated as an AX6600 router with combined theoretical wireless speeds of up to 6.6Gbps. Actual device speeds depend on the client hardware, wireless band, distance, interference, internet plan and network configuration.
Does the RAX70 support WiFi 6?
Yes. It supports the IEEE 802.11ax WiFi 6 standard, which is designed to improve wireless efficiency, capacity and performance in networks with many connected devices.
How many wireless bands does it provide?
The router is tri-band, providing one 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands. This allows devices to be distributed across more available wireless capacity.
How many devices can connect to the router?
NETGEAR markets the RAX70 for networks with up to approximately 40 devices. Practical capacity depends on what those devices are doing and the speed of the internet connection.
Is the RAX70 suitable for gaming?
Yes. Its WiFi 6 performance, tri-band design, quad-core processor, and Gigabit Ethernet ports make it suitable for gaming. Actual latency still depends heavily on the internet provider, server location and network congestion.
Can it handle 4K or 8K streaming?
Yes. NETGEAR identifies the RAX70 as suitable for high-resolution streaming, including 4K and 8K content, when the connected device and internet service provide sufficient bandwidth.
How many Ethernet ports are available?
The rear panel includes one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for the modem and four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for wired client devices.
Does the router have a multi-gigabit Ethernet port?
It does not use a dedicated 2.5GbE or 5GbE port. However, the manual documents WAN port aggregation using the Internet port and LAN port 1 with compatible equipment.
Can two LAN ports be aggregated?
Yes. Ethernet ports 3 and 4 can be configured for LAN aggregation with a compatible device that also supports link aggregation.
Does it include a USB port?
Yes. The router has one USB 3.0 port for connecting compatible USB storage devices and sharing files across the local network.
Can older WiFi devices connect?
Yes. The RAX70 is backward compatible with supported earlier WiFi standards. Older devices will connect at the capabilities supported by their own wireless hardware.
Does it support 160MHz channels?
Yes. Compatible WiFi devices can use 160MHz channel bandwidth for higher potential wireless throughput. Performance and availability depend on device support and local wireless conditions.
Is NETGEAR Armor included free?
The router supports NETGEAR Armor, and some packages or accounts may include a trial. Continued use generally requires a paid subscription, so buyers should confirm current terms with NETGEAR.
Are parental controls available?
Yes. NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls are supported. Certain advanced functions may require a separate subscription.
How is the router configured?
Setup can be completed through the NETGEAR Nighthawk mobile app. The app also provides tools for viewing connected devices, running speed tests, pausing internet access and managing supported features.
Does the RAX70 include a modem?
No. It is a standalone wireless router and must be connected to a compatible modem or internet gateway supplied separately.
Can the router be wall mounted?
Yes. The user manual shows mounting holes on the underside of the router and recommends suitable M3 x 20mm screws with appropriate wall anchors.
Does Smart Connect combine the wireless bands?
Smart Connect can automatically direct compatible devices to an appropriate wireless band under a unified configuration. It can also be enabled or disabled through the router settings.
Does NETGEAR still provide support and firmware?
NETGEAR maintains an official RAX70 support page with manuals, troubleshooting information, and firmware downloads. A firmware release was published in July 2025, although buyers should always check the support page for the newest available version.
Why choose the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 AX6600 Router?
