- • Best for: Homes and flats needing stronger coverage for 4K streaming and stable gaming
- • Not ideal for: Large properties that require a multi-node mesh system included out of the box
AX3000 dual-band WiFi 6 combines high throughput on both bands for multiple devices. EasyMesh compatibility and a Gigabit Ethernet port allow flexible placement as an extender or wired access point.
Smoother 4K streaming and gaming - with WiFi 6 dual-band AX3000
Dual-band WiFi 6 delivers 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, combining to an AX3000 class throughput for client devices. The higher-band capacity helps maintain performance when several devices are active at once.
More reliable streams and lower latency during online games, even when multiple users share the connection.
Fewer dead zones, faster connections - with EasyMesh compatibility and Smart Adaptive Path Selection
EasyMesh compatibility allows connection to an EasyMesh-capable router to create a flexible mesh network, while Smart Adaptive Path Selection automatically chooses the quickest route from extender to router. The routing logic maintains the most efficient path as conditions change.
Rooms that previously suffered weak signals get stronger, more consistent coverage without complex manual tuning.
Wired devices gain fast wireless access - with Access Point mode and a Gigabit Ethernet port
Access Point mode lets a wired Ethernet connection feed a new WiFi network through the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port, effectively turning a wired socket into a high-speed wireless hotspot. This supports stable wireless performance from a wired backbone.
Ideal for study rooms or consoles that need the stability of wired backhaul with the flexibility of wireless access.
