Practically, they know that not everyone wants their kitchen bench lit up like a blue Christmas tree every night and conveniently provided a LED button on the front to easily disable the lights. Netgear have done something most manufactuers don’t, they considered what the device is like to live with. This makes the X8 perfect for larger homes that can often struggle to get the WiFi signal to reach everywhere. While the back of the router has 4 pretty substantial antennas, there’s also another 4 inside the case that combine for pretty stunning WiFi broadcasting. Inside the wavy black recangle lives a dual core 1.4GHz processor and 512 MB RAM, not so long ago these were the specs of the computer on your desk. The router itself is engineered to be stylish, yet understated, allowing it to comfortably adorn your bench or shelves without yellow ‘look at me’. If you’ve invested in a 4KTV and are comfortable on the top tier of Netflix to take advantage of the extra pixels, the last thing you want is network congestion from holding you back. One special trick the X8 has is port aggregation, which allows you to double the connection speed for 4K HD streaming.
The other key target market is for those data hungry families with plenty of devices and who are streaming-first households. If you’re always competing speed, then the Nighthawk X8 offers Tri-Band WiFi, and MU-MIMO to deliver multiple HD video streams to multiple devices to help reduce buffering and jittery video. If you need the very best possible connection, then the X8 features no less than 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connections. Netgear are pitching this router to those who want the best in gaming performance, with WiFi speeds up to 5.3 Gbps and MU-MIMO support, along with Dynamic QoS, which automatically helps prioritize your gaming activity on the network. This means they’ve ditched the modem and are all about turning higher-speed connections into super-fast WiFi to power the growing list of devices around your home. The latest router from Netgear is another in a growing list of NBN-focused routers.
