DOCSIS 3.1
The DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem supports up to 10 Gb/s internet speeds and is backward compatible with previous DOCSIS standards.
Fast Wi-Fi
The dual-band 802.11ax Wi-Fi delivers up to 2700 Mb/s across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with MU-MIMO offering simultaneous 6-stream connectivity with multiple devices. Smart Connect technology sets up one Wi-Fi name for your entire home and automatically assigns the fastest Wi-Fi band to connected devices. The wireless router works with previous Wi-Fi standards.
OFDMA
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access allows Wi-Fi traffic to be managed efficiently by handling multiple data transmissions simultaneously instead of having each device wait for its turn. The results include reduced latency and increased bandwidth for adding devices to the network.
Wired Connections
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports are available for connected wired network devices such as computers, game consoles, and smart TVs. Two of the ports may be combined using link aggregation for multi-Gig connections to compatible devices.
Dual-Core Processor
The Nighthawk CAX30S features a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor that helps to ensure smooth video streaming and online gaming experiences.
Netgear Armor
Powered by Bitdefender, the Netgear Armor security suite is built into the router, providing protection against viruses, hackers, malicious websites, and more. Your Netgear Armor subscription also includes access to features such as secure VPN access to your home network when you're using public Wi-Fi and remotely locating, locking, and wiping lost or stolen devices.
USB Sharing
Connect an external storage drive to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port to back up and share data across your network. USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 are synonymous.
Nighthawk App
Use the mobile app to quickly set up, manage, and monitor your cable modem and router's performance. Features include remote management, pausing internet access to any device, an internet data usage meter, and setting up guest network access.
