  • Bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (dual-band)

  • Ports: 3 × RJ-45 (Ethernet)
  • Mesh and MU-MIMO: mesh support, no MU-MIMO

Description

Wi-Fi 6 speed across two bands

AX3000 means the theoretical maximum speeds of the two bands add up to roughly 3000 Mbit/s. The 5 GHz band gives fast connections to nearby phones, laptops and TVs, while 2.4 GHz passes through walls more easily and serves smart home devices. Because the router also supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, older devices connect to it as well.

Who this router is for

Homes where an old Wi-Fi 4 or Wi-Fi 5 router can no longer keep up with every device; small offices where a computer or printer needs a wired connection to one of the three RJ-45 ports; and anyone who wants to start with a single router and add more units to a mesh network later.
