Overview
A dedicated six gigahertz radio gives the newest WiFi devices their own uncrowded lane on this NETGEAR Nighthawk. Eight streams and a quad-core processor spread traffic across three bands.
Newer phones and laptops get a fast clear channel while older gear stays on the familiar bands. Homes without devices for the newest band will not see the main benefit.
Who it's for
Medium to large homes with many devices and newer hardware gain capacity and less interference. Small apartments with older devices can get by with a simpler router.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated WiFi 6E band
- Multi-gig Ethernet port
- Backward compatible with older WiFi
- App setup and management
- Modem not included
- Security suite is a trial
- Large footprint on a shelf
Performance notes
Speed depends on device support, since only clients built for the newest band use it. Coverage falls with walls and floors, so router placement near the home's center matters more than the headline figure.
