Wi-Fi speed classiThe maker's class name, e.g. BE19000 or AXE11000. It adds up the top link rates of all radios. No single device reaches it. A Wi-Fi 6E class starts with AXE, also when the maker writes AX, so eero's AX5400 is AXE5400. The class is not the model number, so GL.iNet's GL-AXT1800 is AX1800.

The 2.4 GHz radio supports 802.11 n/ac/ax/be with 4096-QAM, 20/40 MHz and up to 0.7 Gbps. The 5 GHz radio supports 802.11 n/ac/ax/be with 4096-QAM, 20/40/80/160 MHz and up to 2.9 Gbps. The 2 streams per band come from the 2x2 bands in the datasheet. The rates are in the Dong Knows Tech entry.6Reviewdongknows.com/netgear-nighthawk-rs100-reviewRead 14 October 2026Hardware table: dual-band BE3600, 5 GHz 2x2 BE up to 2882 Mbps (20/40/80/160 MHz), and the text says the 160 MHz rate needs DFS channels. The 2.4 GHz cell is garbled for the RS100. The review's table prints 2x2 BE up to 688 Mbps (20/40 MHz) for the BE230, which has the same BE3600 radios. 688 plus 2882 is 3570 Mbps, the same as the combined 3.57 Gbps in the maker's manual, so 688 is stored for the RS100 2.4 GHz radio. The maker prints only 0.7 and 2.9 Gbps.

Band steering over only some of the bands, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz on a tri-band router, counts. AFC is Automated Frequency Coordination, which allows standard power on 6 GHz.

It is the general UniFi Network settings page, not a UDR7 page.

Security serviceiThe maker's built-in security service by name, e.g. AiProtection Pro, HomeShield, NETGEAR Armor or eero Plus.

NETGEAR Armor1Maker product pagenetgear.com/home/wifi/routers/rs100Read 14 October 2026NETGEAR Armor, powered by Bitdefender. A trial is included.2Maker spec sheet (PDF)downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RS100/RS100_TS.pdfRead 14 October 2026NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender is optional, with a subscription.

CyberSecure1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/udr7Read 14 October 2026The store sells Enhanced Cyber Security (CyberSecure upsell, powered by Proofpoint) as a paid add-on, billed yearly. The spec page lists 20,000+ IDS/IPS signatures with CyberSecure.

Security service costiWhat the service costs after any free trial. Basic free means the basic features are free and the full set needs a subscription. When the free and paid tiers share one name, such as HomeShield, it is basic free. NETGEAR Armor has no free tier after its trial, so it is paid. When the paid tier is a separate add-on, such as eero Plus, it is paid.

Paid7Reviewtechradar.com/computing/wi-fi-broadband/netgear-nighthawk-rs100-reviewRead 14 October 2026Armor comes with a one-month trial and then costs $99.99 a year. The review also says some features need an extra subscription. The maker's page calls the Armor trial included and its datasheet calls the service optional with a subscription.

Paid1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/udr7Read 14 October 2026CyberSecure is a separate add-on at $99 per unit and year. The basic IDS/IPS in the gateway is free. Stored as paid because the paid tier is a separate add-on, as for eero Plus.
