XTREAM CM4642342-MM WiFi 6 Cable Gateway

Device Overview

The Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway supports both MoCA 2.0 and DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 for broadband data transfer to an existing coaxial cable system. With the channel bonding connectivity, the Gateway allows for the aggregation of multiple downstream and upstream channels and brings up to 5 Gbps for download speed and 1 Gbps for upload speed. The Gateway is also compliant with the IEEE 802.llax specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the 802.1 lac/a/b/ gin standards. IEEE 802.1 lax is the new addition of the IEEE 802.11 standards, running at dual-band of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band types, as well as co-existing with the 802.1 lac/l ln network. It delivers wide bandwidth of up to 160 MHz, and reliable high data rates of up to 4.8 Gbps. The Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway supports one 2.5-gigabit LAN port, two one-gigabit LAN ports, one F-type coax WAN port, one FXS RJ-11 port for telephony, and 802.1 lax dual-band wireless capabilities. It provides high speed transmission rate for data/voice/video triple-play services. The Wi-Fi 6 Cable Gateway delivers sufficient bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, voice service, and surf the Internet simultaneously.
