The New Era of Home Connectivity
AX3000 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router
Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything
The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.
Incredible Speed
Drastically improved speeds enable streaming, fast downloading, and gaming—all at the same time. 5 GHz with 160 MHz channel support doubles the bandwidth, enabling 8K video without lag.
More Responsive Experiences - Less Loading Wheels
Enjoy smooth gaming, video streaming, and live feed simultaneously. OFDMA makes your Wi-Fi stronger by allowing multiple clients to share one band at the same time, which cuts latency and jittering.
- OFDMA
- 4x Capacity
Powerful CPU and High Memory - Connect More without Dropping Speed
Behind the Wi-Fi 6 technology structure are the advanced Qualcomm chipset and high memory. Enjoy fast connections with minimal latency even under a heavy load of transmission. Every click for website links and online playback on your laptop and phone just responds quicker.
Improved Cooling Design Consistent Full Output
No heat-ups, no throttles. A larger heat sink and refined case design cool the Wi-Fi 6 system and enable your network to stay at top speed in more versatile environments.
Wi-Fi Coverage Throughout Your Home
4 high-performance external antennas boost Wi-Fi signals throughout your home. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, especially for previously hard to reach outlets.
USB 3.0 Ports
Easily share files between connected devices by plugging into an external drive. You can even make it your personal cloud storage and access it from outside securely*.

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
‡Use of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and its features including OFDMA, HE160, and TWT requires clients to also support corresponding features. The 160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. Actual power reduction by Target Wake Time may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.
§The 802.11ax white paper defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as enabling at least one mode of operation capable of supporting the improvement of at least four times the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario.

*Use of WPA3 requires clients to support WPA3.
**This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in the IEEE 802.11ax specification.
***Further software upgrade for feature availability may be required.

Allowances
As an international traveller you are entitled to bring a certain amount/value of goods that are free of Customs duty and exempt Goods and Services tax (GST) into New Zealand. This is called your duty free allowance and personal goods concession. It is important to review these for any purchases you make on The Mall.
Your duty free allowance entitles you to bring into New Zealand the following quantities of alcohol products free of customs duty and GST provided you are over 17 years of age. You do need to be 18 years or over to purchase.
- Up to six bottles (4.5 litres) of wine, champagne, port or sherry or
- Up to twelve cans (4.5 litres) of beer
- And three bottles (or other containers) each containing not more than 1125ml of spirits, liqueur, or other spirituous beverages
Goods other than alcohol and tobacco, whether purchased overseas or purchased duty free in New Zealand, that have a combined total value not exceeding NZ$700 may also be brought as part of your personal goods concession.
When travelling overseas there are legal limits on the amount of duty free alcohol and other goods you can take with you. These amounts will vary depending on the country you are flying into. We always recommend you check the latest limits and exemptions.
Click & Collect
Your order can be picked up at an Auckland Airport Collection Point. There is one in departures and one at arrivals in the international terminal. Alternatively, if you are arriving between 11pm and 6am you will be able to collect your order from our lockers. See map
