Each 5GHz radio is able to broadcast at 2.1Gbps compared to 1.3Gbps on Gen 1 devices, and the bandwidth on the 2.4GHz channel is also increased from 600Mbps on Gen 1 devices to 1Gbps. This means the amplifiers for the antennae are on the antennae itself rather than down on the main board, helping to boost the signal without crosstalk or signal loss associated with modern PCB circuitry. Instead of using a 3x3 configuration with six antennae, this router takes it to the next level with a 4x4 configuration, with four internal antennae and four active external antennae, each with their own blue LEDs to signal their active state. The first router out of the gate (for us at least) is the Netgear Nighthawk X8 AC5300. With the first generation of wireless AC routers in our rearview, we now turn to the second generation, which is dubbed "Wave 2" and carries the AC5300 moniker.
