Nighthawk CAX8 AX6000 WiFi Cable Router

Netgear refers to this device as AX6000 capable but the FCC test report documents only claim up to 1150+2402 (AX3500) since only HE80 channel bandwidths are currently supported. Netgear will probably issue a Class II Product Change Request at a later date to add 160MHz channels allowing it to claim to be AX6000.

This device was under short-term confidentiality, but that expired 02/08/2020.
