Body

If you plan to move or travel a lot and need to take your router with you, the size is important. It needs to be small to be easy to carry. If you plan to mount your router on a wall or ceiling, the weight can affect the mounting process. It also affects the type of mounting hardware needed.

System

The Broadcom BCM6756 @ 1.7 GHz CPU provides processing power. It handles tasks and services within the Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E router. The 512 MB of RAM enables the router to handle multiple tasks and processes concurrently. Flash memory retains its data even when the router is off. This allows the router to keep its firmware and settings across reboots. The firmware upgrade process may vary depending on the router model. However, it often involves accessing the router's web-based administration interface. The Netgear packages the Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E router with 19 V / 3.16 A PSU.

Network

Like many modern routers, the Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E supports many features and tech. They improve your network's connectivity and security. The IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, represented as four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g. 192.168.0.1). The router also supports IPv6. This allows you to use the latest Internet Protocol. Gigabit Ethernet ports support data transfer rates of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps).

A Gigabit WAN port is helpful. It is useful when your internet plan supports high speeds. This router also supports 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet on its WAN port. OpenVPN is available for many operating systems. These include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Wireless

A well-positioned antenna can reduce interference and signal weakening. This leads to a more reliable connection. The 2.4 GHz band is widely supported by many devices. This includes older ones that may not work with the 5 GHz band. The 5GHz band provides faster data transfer speeds compared to the 2.4GHz band. More channels and wider bandwidth are available. 6GHz Wi-Fi can offer even higher speeds than 5GHz.

This AX Wi-Fi router provides much faster data transfer rates. It is faster than older Wi-Fi standards. The top speed, 600 + 4800 + 2400 Mbps, is the highest data rate the router can reach. It's the theoretical limit in perfect conditions. The introduction of WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) improved upon WEP. It provides stronger security. The WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) is the latest Wi-Fi security protocol. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides an easy method. It connects devices to a Wi-Fi network.

Connectivity

The USB 3 ports provide a fast interface for external storage with data transfer rates of up to 4.8 Gbps. By connecting a USB printer to the Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E router, you can make it accessible to all devices on your network. This router has a USB file server. It lets you connect external storage devices to your network. For example, you can connect USB flash drives or hard drives.

Administration

Changing the password often is a good security practice. It protects your network and devices from unauthorized access. Changing the default password improves your router's security. It reduces the risk of unauthorized individuals controlling your network.

Pros and Cons

Every router, including this Netgear one, has its good sides and not-so-good sides. Let's take a closer look at both to get a full understanding of what this router can do. We'll talk about what it does well and also where it could use some improvements. Just remember, this is just what I think, and you might see things differently.
