Netgear Presents Nighthawk 802.11ac Wireless Router

Netgear has introduced the new Nighthawk Smart Wi-Fi Router R7000.

Powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor, it enhances connection speeds up to AC1900 Wi-Fi (600 +1300 Mbps), and is the first in the industry to support both implicit and explicit Beamforming+, a smart signal-focusing technology that locks onto a wireless device on the network and directly beams Wi-Fi signals to it. With its Wi-Fi amplifiers and three external antennas, the new router boosts speed, reliability, and range of Wi-Fi connections in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

At a glance:-

  • 1GHz dual-core processor to boost wireless, wired and WAN-to-LAN performance
  • Amplifiers with 3 external antennas to extend WiFi coverage
  • Advanced QoS automatically recognizes and prioritizes streaming and gaming applications
  • USB 3.0 port that is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0
  • VPN support that ensures secure access to your home network
  • Customized free URL to create an FTP server
  • Open source firmware for download from www.myopenrouter.com – the online community for Netgear's family of open source and open platform routers.

The Nighthawk retails at S$359, and is now available at A Genuine (Sim Lim Square), Best Denki, Challenger, Harvey Norman, and Mediapro (Sim Lim Square).
