Source: netgear.com (read 2026-06-15) STALE · 2026-06-15 · corroborated by netgear.com (read 2026-06-15). Specs confirmed via netgear.com product page (mesh/rbke963): AXE11000 quad-band WiFi 6E mesh, quad-core 2.2 GHz processor in both router and satellites, router has 10G WAN + 2.5G LAN + 3x 1G LAN, each satellite has 3x 1G LAN, total coverage 9,000 sq ft (3-pack), 13 total Ethernet ports. Release date 2022. US launch MSRP $1,499.99 for 3-pack per established retailer records; price has since dropped significantly. The page this record cites returned 404 when re-checked on 2026-09-10 from two vantages — a datacenter connection and a residential one, so bot-blocking is not being mistaken for a dead page. Its corroboration at netgear.com did not answer either, so neither recorded page can stand in for it. The figure stands as last read; re-sourcing it needs a live page, not a rule. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/rbke963/RBKE963-100NAS.html) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it returned 404, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures.
