Netgear Nighthawk: A Nextgen Router with Blistering Speed
 

If you’re in the market for a router upgrade, the next generation of home routers offers features unheard of even a few years ago: dual-core processors, blazing fast Wi-Fi, USB 3.0 mounting for NAS storage, and more. Read on as we take the Netgear Nighthawk for a test drive.
What is the Nighthawk?

The Nighthawk, formally the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router (model R7000), is the latest router in the Netgear router lineup. It boasts AC1900 Wi-Fi (a Wi-Fi deployment scheme that combines advanced 802.11ac transfer speeds on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band), a 1Ghz dual-core processor, Beamforming (which focuses Wi-Fi signal distribution towards the devices using the Wi-Fi), advanced Quality of Service algorithms to ensure smooth traffic flow in the face of heavy media streaming and gaming use, and it includes a slew of little (but welcome) freebies like NAS software and an assistant to help you set up a personal home FTP server.
