What wireless standards does Netgear support?

Asked 2 years ago
Netgear supports a variety of wireless standards to ensure compatibility and optimal performance across its range of products. The primary standards supported by Netgear devices include IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, and the latest standard, 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6. The 802.11ac standard introduced advanced features such as wider channels and Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output, or MU-MIMO, which allows simultaneous communication with multiple devices, improving overall network efficiency. Wi-Fi 6, which incorporates the 802.11ax standard, further enhances network performance by increasing speed, capacity, and efficiency, especially in environments with numerous connected devices. Netgear products also tend to maintain backward compatibility with earlier standards, allowing older devices to connect seamlessly to newer routers. This versatility in supporting multiple standards is valuable for users who may have a mix of devices in their home or office network. For the latest information on specific devices and their supported wireless standards, it is advisable to consult the product specifications on the official Netgear website.
