SURFboard mAX (AX6600) complements the flagship SURFboard mAX
Pro Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (AX11000) and SURFboard mAX Plus Mesh Wi-Fi
6 system (AX7800), offering consumers a range of options for
achieving whole-home coverage with the latest Wi-Fi 6
technology.
The SURFboard mAX system features an advanced tri-band Wi-Fi 6
mesh design with two routers, each delivering 6.6 Gbps speeds and
providing a total coverage area of up to 5,500 sq. ft. Its third
band, with 4x4 Wi-Fi 6, provides a dedicated backhaul to ensure the
fastest service speeds across the entire home. 1
“SURFboard mAX represents the whole-home coverage and gigabit
speeds that consumers expect from our flagship Wi-Fi portfolio in a
new performance tier designed to meet the needs of an even greater
range of consumers,” said Evan Groat, senior vice president, Home
Networks Retail Products Group at CommScope (recently acquired
ARRIS). “Now, people upgrading their home network have a new,
powerful and stylish option to support their
ultra-high-definition 4K content, high-performance gaming, and
connected lifestyle for years to come.”
The SURFboard mAX AX6600’s advanced software makes it simple and
convenient to manage the system’s powerful technology.
Using Alexa, consumers can manage their SURFboard mAX system’s
guest Wi-Fi, pause and unpause Wi-Fi access, and schedule specific
Wi-Fi access times. With Alexa’s Wi-Fi Access feature, consumers
can simply say: “Alexa, pause the Wi-Fi for 30 minutes” or “Alexa,
turn off the Wi-Fi for Sarah” from compatible Alexa-enabled devices
for easy voice control.
The SURFboard mAX system will be available for display in a
private suite at CES, Jan. 7-10, 2020 in Las Vegas,
alongside the SURFboard mAX Pro and SURFboard mAX Plus.
