General info
Wi-Fi version
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
Wi-Fi speed
1600 Mb/s
A higher maximum Wi-Fi speed results in better performance. This is measured in megabits per second.
Wi-Fi bands
Dual-band
Dual band routers have two bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 5GHz band is faster and more stable, with the only downside being that it covers a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band. If you have many connected devices, you may benefit from a tri-band router, which has an additional 5GHz band to reduce network congestion. Finally, there are quad-band routers. These take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E to provide an additional 6GHz band for faster speeds and lower latency.
How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
With more LAN ports you are able to connect more computers to the network directly using LAN cables.
Features
has MU-MIMO
✔Netgear EAX12
MU-MIMO helps reduce congestion and increases performance on Wi-Fi networks when many devices are connected at the same time.
supports mesh Wi-Fi
✔Netgear EAX12
If you use several of these routers, they can link up with each other to provide a greater area of Wi-Fi coverage. It's particularly useful if you have a large house or apartment.
has beamforming
✔Netgear EAX12
Normally, a router broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal in all directions. Using beamforming technology, the router detects where your device is and focuses a stronger signal in that direction, resulting in a better connection.
Wi-Fi security protocols
WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3
The Wi-Fi security protocols that are available for this device.
Has a dedicated smartphone app
✔Netgear EAX12
There is a dedicated smartphone app that is designed to be used with the device.
has a WPS button
✔Netgear EAX12
A Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button makes it easier to connect devices (such as printers) to the Wi-Fi network.
Design
More antennas result in increased signal strength. External antennas can be repositioned in order to improve the signal, and replaced with a longer antenna if needed.
volume
533.02 cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
height
149 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width
68.4 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
thickness
52.3 mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
