ARRIS releases two tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems
ARRIS announced the availability of two groundbreaking Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) mesh systems. The ARRIS SURFboard mAX Gigabit Wi-Fi Pro and Plus systems are the first true tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems.
ARRIS built both systems around the newest Wi-Fi 6 standard featuring the latest wireless and modulation technologies including OFDMA and High Order Modulation.
Wi-Fi 6 enables multi-Gigabit speeds across a growing range of connected devices to accelerate everything that consumers do online today—from video streaming, to smart home automation, to gaming and downloads. Wi-Fi 6 also unlocks a new set of future services and experiences—including 8K, augmented reality, advanced smart cloud services, and more.
More importantly, ARRIS SURFboard mAX Gigabit Wi-Fi systems are the only devices on the market to use Wi-Fi 6 on each of three separate bands with high-end 4×4 antennas and mesh technology.

SURFboard mAX Pro delivers breathtaking speeds of up to 11Gbps and mAX Plus delivers speeds of up to 7.8Gbps, ensuring consumers get the most out of their internet connection—today, and far into the future.
Both are available as a system and as a standalone router. The standalone router offers up to 3,000 sq. ft. of coverage, while the system provides seamless Gigabit Wi-Fi for homes up to 6,000 sq. ft.
‘SURFboard mAX Manager’ iOS and Android apps enable simple and secure setup and management and Amazon Alexa onboard enables voice-controlled guest Wi-Fi management, parental controls, and more.
