Source: Digitec GalaxusThe RAX70 from Netgear hides the WLAN radio antennas behind its fold-out wings. In addition to four Gigabit LAN ports for connecting devices via network cable, the router also has a USB 3.0 port for a storage drive. Setup is done via the associated Nighthawk app, which is clear and structured...
That of the RAX70, offered for 320 euros, is with 600 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz somewhat slower than the competitors. On 5 GHz, Netgear chooses a special configuration: one module supports 4x4 MIMO, but the other only 2x2. This could slow things down somewhat in mesh mode. The RAX70 also does not offer multi-gigabit Ethernet, but two times two of its five Ethernet sockets can be interconnected via "port aggregation"...
On 5 GHz, the Netgear RAX 70 keeps up with the competitors; on 2.4 GHz, it is slightly slower than the routers from Asus and TP-Link.
On 5 GHz, the Net-gear RAX 70 keeps up with its competitors, on 2.4 GHz it falls slightly behind. It's a bit of a shame that the third WLAN module is also limited in its maximum data rate.
