Ideal for small to medium homes

The Netgear RAX9-100PAS is a Wi-Fi 6 wireless router built for households that need reliable dual-band coverage across roughly 1,500 sq. ft. It supports up to 20 connected devices and delivers combined speeds of 1.8 Gbps, with 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 1,200 Mbps on the 5 GHz band. A dual-core 880 MHz processor handles concurrent streaming, browsing and video calls without bottlenecks.

Wired flexibility and app control

Five Gigabit Ethernet ports provide one dedicated Internet uplink and four LAN connections for desktops, consoles or streaming boxes, ensuring stable wired throughput where Wi-Fi is inconvenient. The router includes 256 MB flash and 512 MB RAM for firmware and buffering duties. Setup and ongoing management run through the Nighthawk app, which lets you pause Internet access on any device and monitor data usage from a phone.

Step up from WiFi 5 without new wiring

This unit replaces an older AC router and immediately yields up to 1.5× faster downloads on Wi-Fi 6 clients while remaining fully backwards compatible with WiFi 5 and earlier devices. The jump makes sense when your household has grown past 10–15 simultaneous connections or when 4K streaming and video conferencing regularly contend for airtime. Buyers who need multi-gigabit WAN or more than four LAN ports should look elsewhere.
