Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System
The ARRIS SURFboard mAX W130 creates a tri-band mesh network designed for homes up to 6,000 sq ft. Three distinct radio bands separate backhaul traffic from client connections, providing dedicated lanes for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices. The system targets households that need consistent coverage across multiple floors and outdoor areas.
Sustained AX7800 Throughput
A dedicated 4.8 Gbps backhaul link keeps inter-node communication off the client bands, preserving bandwidth for streaming, gaming and video calls under continuous load. Each node delivers eight Wi-Fi 6 streams with a combined peak rate of 7.8 Gbps. The architecture avoids the congestion typical of dual-band meshes when many devices are active simultaneously.
Four Gigabit Ports Per Node
Every unit includes four 1 Gbps Ethernet ports for wired devices such as consoles, PCs or smart-TV hubs. The SURFboard Central app handles setup, parental controls, QoS, guest networking and IFTTT automation from a phone. Buyers who require multi-gigabit wired uplinks or a separate modem will need additional hardware.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power does the tri-band 4.8 Gbps backhaul generate during all-day use?
The system uses Energy-Efficient Ethernet and a dedicated 4.8 Gbps backhaul band to keep power draw and heat low while maintaining gigabit links between nodes.
What internet connection and mobile device are needed to set up the mesh via the SURFboard Central app?
You need an active broadband modem and a smartphone or tablet running the SURFboard Central app for step-by-step configuration and ongoing network management.
Will my older Wi-Fi 5 laptop and 2.4 GHz smart plugs connect reliably to the AX7800 mesh?
Yes, the tri-band design reserves a 2.4 GHz band for legacy devices and a 5 GHz band for newer clients, while Wi-Fi 6 streams maintain compatibility with Wi-Fi 5 hardware.
