Features Benefits
IEEE 802.11a/b/g, WiFi 4 (802.11n), WiFi 5 (802.11ac), & WiFi 6E (802.11ax-2020) support Supports existing client devices in the home and all newer devices using higher frequencies, including the latest WiFi 6E capable devices.
Concurrent 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency band support Provides flexibility in range for WiFi signal to cover the home. Future capability upgrade to support AFC (Automated Frequency Coordination) which enables the WiFi 6E router to potentially increase the power of the 6 GHz radio from LPI (Low Power Indoor) default mode to SP (Standard Power) mode. Enables the 6 GHz band to have almost the same level of reach as the 5 GHz band.
2.4 GHz WiFi Radio - 802.11ax 4x4:4 Active Antenna More data per packet transition provides higher throughput and increased range improving experience, especially in client dense environments.
5 GHz WiFi Radio - 802.11ax 4x4:4 Active Antenna Delivers higher data rates and bandwidth for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands as well as support for almost 1,200 MHz of the 6 GHz frequency band.
6 GHz WiFi Radio - 802.11ax 4x4:4 Passive Antenna Unified SSID enables intelligent client steering - optimizes client device connectivity to best frequency band, channel, and access point. Prevents client devices from "sticking” to a specific non-optimized band as the client moves around or if the channel becomes congested due to external interference.
WiFi Channel Bandwidths 2.4 GHz-20/40 MHz
5 GHz - 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 MHz (includes lower 45 MHz of U-NII-4 band)
6 GHz - 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 MHz (excludes first 160 MHz of 1,200 MHz)
802.11ax-2020 WiFi 6E chipsets with higher processing power Supports consistent performance where there is a higher density of WiFi devices connecting to the network. Powerful chips encode/decode signals, allowing better network and device management.
Latest industry-standard WiFi security (WPA3 Personal, WPA2 Personal) Supports WPA3 Transitional. This enables support for both the WPA3 Personal (2022 version) standard, which is the highest security standard available to date, as well as the older WPA2 Personal (2004) standard to protect devices on the WiFi network.
Note: Only 6 GHz band supports WPA3 Personal, WPA2 Personal is supported on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Two 2.5 MultiGig LAN ports Connect stationary computers, game consoles, printers, media sources and other devices on the private network for high-speed service. These two Ethernet PHYs support the following standards:
IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T, 2.5G NBASE-T spec, IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX
One 10 MultiGig WAN port Connect to Internet port of Cable Modem, Spectrum eMTA or Spectrum ONU. This Ethernet PHY supports the following standards:
IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T, IEEE 802.3bz 5GBASE-T / 2.5GBASE-T, 5G/2.5G NBASE-T spec, IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX
More Specifications Integrated fan provides optimum temperature regulation with ultra-quiet operation (under 30dBA) even under the most demanding loads.
• IPv4 and IPv6, DHCP, DSCP tag support, Wi-Fi® Easy Connect, Connectivity with Spectrum WiFi Pods, Spectrum Mobile Speed Boost
Primary Power Source: 802.3bt Type 3 60W-capable PoE++ Injector: 48VDC/1.25A
Alternative Power Source: Spectrum PSU2 36W: 12VDC/3A
Dimensions: 11.5" x 6.2" x 2.28"
