X6S AmA – WIFI capabilities - Will it handle the 60GHz 802.11ad

[Wolfangovich]

How compatible is this WIFI extender with the X10 R9000 router? Will it handle the same WIFI speeds and connections?

[StephenB]

Although it will work with any router, it is designed with Nighthawk in mind.  The dedicated FastLane3 radio is Quad Stream (1733 Mbps), which is identical to the X10. That means you will get the maximum performance out of the extender if you pair it with your R9000.

However, the X6S won't extend or use 60 ghz 802.11ad.

Note I don't work for Netgear, and any errors in the info above are my own.
