Tri-Band Wi-Fi technology delivers a massive combined wireless speed of up to 5.3 Gbps.
X8 optimises Wi-Fi performance by assigning every device to the fast Wi-Fi band possible and doing so allows devices to connect at their maximum speed.
Nighthawk X8 – fast tri-band Wi-Fi router
The next wave in Wi-Fi
The Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Router is the next wave in Wi-Fi. Tri-Band Wi-Fi and Quad Stream performance boosts X8’s combined wireless speeds to up to 5.3 Gbps. Four external Active Antennas plus four internal antennas amplify Wi-Fi range. Six gigabit ethernet ports means even more wired devices can connect.
Tri-Band Wi-Fi – Delivers more Wi-Fi to devices.
5.3 Gbps – The fast combined Wi-Fi speed for uninterrupted streaming.
Quad Stream – Up to four data streams per Wi-Fi band maximises connection speed.
Dynamic QoS – Prioritises video streaming and gaming.
Smart Connect – Designates slow and fast devices to separate Wi-Fi bands for wireless speeds.
Six gigabit ethernet ports, two for multi-port aggregation.
One of the first active antennas
NETGEAR an active antennas technology improves Wi-Fi performance by amplifying signal in the antenna itself.
NETGEAR moved the Wi-Fi amplifiers from their usual location on the motherboard to the top of antennas for a cleaner and stronger receive signal from mobile devices.
Powerful dual core 1.4 HGz router processor
Nighthawk X8 delivers Tri-band Wi-Fi, quad-stream performance on each band, Multi-User MIMO capable, has six gigabit LAN ports with port aggregation and dual USB interfaces to connect external USB storage.
Using a single core processor would cause severe performance issues as various processes compete for CPU power.
