Overview

This router has a special configuration of OpenWrt software

The HBE‑AX3000 is a dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 router configured with the popular highly secure OpenWrt software perfect for homes and small offices that have outgrown a carrier-supplied gateway. It pairs a 2.4 GHz radio at up to 574 Mbps with a 5 GHz radio at up to 2402 Mbps, and puts six 5 dBi external antennas around the chassis so the signal reaches the far corners of a building rather than the room the router sits in.

Wi‑Fi 6 matters most where a network is busy rather than where it is fast. On a household or an office of phones, laptops, cameras and voice handsets, the gain shows up as lower latency and less congestion when everyone is on at once, rather than as a higher number on a speed test.

Wired clients are not an afterthought: one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports handle the broadband uplink and four wired devices at full speed. It runs as a DHCP or PPPoE gateway, as an access point on an existing network, or as a wireless repeater, and pairs with compatible Mesh units when one unit will not cover the building.

HBE Yakabit supplies and supports the HBE‑AX3000 directly — the same arrangement as the rest of our hardware: one company for the router, the internet service and the phone system, and one number to call when something needs attention.

Key Features

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6, AX3000

574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 2402 Mbps at 5 GHz, with 160 MHz channel support on the 5 GHz band.

Six 5 dBi external antennas

High-gain omnidirectional antennas around the chassis, so coverage reaches the far rooms rather than dying at the first wall.

4 + 1 Gigabit ports

One Gigabit WAN port for the broadband uplink and four Gigabit LAN ports for wired devices at full speed.

Mesh, AP and repeater modes

Run it as a gateway, add it to an existing wired network as an access point, extend Wi-Fi as a repeater, or pair it with compatible Mesh units.

Coverage, wiring and deployment

What the six antennas, the Gigabit ports and the four operating modes mean once the unit is installed.

Coverage and wired speed

  • Six external high-gain antennas. Six 5 dBi antennas broadcast a strong, stable signal across a home or small office, reducing dead zones in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Full Gigabit Ethernet. One Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports for high-speed broadband and stable wired connections. Cat5e or better is recommended.
  • 160 MHz channels. The 5 GHz radio supports 20, 40, 80 and 160 MHz channel widths for the full 2402 Mbps rate where the environment allows it.
  • Built for many devices. OFDMA and MIMO improve efficiency in busy environments — family streaming, gaming, video calls, office work and smart-home gear at the same time.

Deployment and access

  • Four operating modes. DHCP router, PPPoE router, access point over Ethernet, or wireless repeater to extend an existing network.
  • Mesh expansion and WPS. A short press pairs WPS devices; holding the button for more than five seconds starts Mesh pairing with compatible units.
  • Multi-protocol VPN. OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP for encrypted remote access, subject to the VPN service and network in use.
  • Straightforward management. NAT, firewall and DHCP server built in, with Power, Wi-Fi and Network status LEDs on the front edge.
