Is the RAX 50 Router compatible with COX Cable's Gigablast
I am assuming my RAX50 Router will work with the Gigablast speeds offered by COX cable. I have already confirmed that my Cable modem is.

Compatible with which part?
Will it hit wired gigabit speeds? Sure.
Will it hit wireless gigabit speeds? potentially but usually the bottleneck isn't the router but the device, the distance, and interference.
I'd recommend a look at a few AX routers tested for reasonable expectations of wireless AX speeds.

Hi Plemans,
Not sure if I undrstand from your reply if the RAX50 (BTW, Netgear does not even list the RAX50 in their list of Routers??) will work I know COX told me AC1900 and higher which I know the RAX50 is pretty much state of the art regarding WiFi schemes. Both my Netgear Cable Modem and Router per COX will work with Gigablast. She told me the speeds are 1000 down and 1000 up
Thanks
