(NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of networking devices that power today’s smart home, is releasing a new, improved edition of its award-winning, entry-level Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router. The new Nighthawk® AC2300 Smart WiFi Router (R7000P) has all the innovative features of the original Nighthawk, but now offers faster AC2300 WiFi and MU-MIMO technology to enable improved performance and blazing-fast speeds when simultaneously streaming to multiple devices. Built with gaming, streaming, and mobile devices in mind, this new gigabit WiFi router supports MU-MIMO for simultaneous streaming and delivers faster speeds so you enjoy less lag and less buffering. New-generation WiFi technology increases your WiFi coverage while reducing dead spots. Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Router has Beamforming+ and built-in high-powered amplifiers and external antennas for improved performance over the previous generation Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router (R7000). Access and control your router remotely using features such as NETGEAR genie® remote access, ReadyCLOUD®, OpenVPN®, and Kwilt™ app. And with the new NETGEAR Up app, you’ll be online in a matter of minutes, as it provides fast intuitive installation from the convenience of any Android or iOS mobile device. “Our original Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router was a PC Magazine Editor’s Choice for its great throughput, excellent range, and wonderful QoS, all attributes of the new Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Router,” said Sandeep Harpalani, senior director of NETGEAR product marketing for Home Consumer Products. “But, if you’re still hanging onto your old Wireless-N WiFi router, your network simply can’t keep up with the heavy streaming demands from multiple devices that today’s average household will now need to support. The new Nighthawk is a giant step up in terms of speed and capabilities, yet still affordable for cost-conscious families. Do your family a favor and start off the New Year with a new, improved home network.” Top Technical Features
