Overview
Not a small wall plug extender, this NETGEAR Nighthawk is a desktop unit with high-powered amplifiers and five Ethernet ports. It repeats your existing WiFi with the same network name and works with any router.
A TV corner or home office far from the router gains both stronger WiFi and wired ports for a console, TV and streamer. Its desktop size needs shelf space, and relayed speed still falls short of the router.
Who it's for
Larger homes with a busy entertainment spot far from the router suit it. People with one weak room and no wired gear need something smaller.
Pros and cons
- Five Ethernet ports
- High-powered amplifiers for range
- Same SSID smart roaming
- FastLane dual band mode
- Desktop size takes shelf space
- Relayed speed below router speed
- No WPA3 listed
Performance notes
Range comes from the amplifiers and internal antennas, but speed in the far room still depends on how well it hears the router. FastLane splits the bands between router link and devices to soften the relay penalty.
