Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything
The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.
Warp Speed for Smooth 8K Streaming
Drastically improved speeds enable streaming, fast downloading, and gaming, all at the same time. Need to go faster?
Hop on 5 GHz with full speed-boosting features to stream multiple 8K videos without lagging.
Extensive Wi-Fi Coverage with Advanced Technology
Enjoy stable Wi-Fi connections, even in the kitchen and bedroom. High-Power FEM, 6× Antennas, Beamforming, and 4T4R structures combine to adapt Wi-Fi coverage to perfectly fit your home and concentrate signal strength towards your devices.
Connect
100+ Devices
Easily handle dozens of devices streaming and gaming at the same time — OFDMA and MU-MIMO combine to future-proof your home network by providing greater capacity to connect more devices.
OFDMA
Enables different devices to share one transmission stream, increasing efficiency.
MU-MIMO
Transmits data to different devices simultaneously using multiple streams.
Designed to Be Cool
The slant rectangle atop of the scaled armor design provides a contemporary aesthetic. The vent design takes up 167 cm² (25 in²) of its top surface for improved heat dissipation, unleashing the whole machine's full power.
