Welcome to the super-fast lane Earlier tri-band routers offered a single band at 2.4 GHz, plus two 5 GHz bands. The NETGEAR Nighthawk™ tri-band Wi-Fi 6E router's third band is located in the more recently opened, relatively uncluttered 6 GHz band. It's like driving on a highway with a regular-speed lane, a fast lane, and a super-fast lane with very little traffic. Plus, this router uses Wi-Fi 6 to deliver multi-gig speeds to multiple connected devices, with plenty of coverage for a large home or business. Smart speed and clever connectivity Four-stream MU-MIMO (multi-user, multi-input, multi-output) allows simultaneous streaming to multiple devices, so everyone in a large home can access the internet at the same time. Each of the four streams takes on a portion of your home's overall wireless traffic, reducing or eliminating lag and buffering. This router also offers Beamforming+, which boosts the speed, reliability and range of your Wi-Fi connection. And the router's AXE-optimized 1.8GHz quad-core processor delivers high-performance connectivity for glitch-free VR gaming and smooth streaming of 4K and 8K content. Easy installation and tough security NETGEAR routers are designed for easy installation. The Nighthawk app helps you with initial setup, then lets you monitor, control and troubleshoot your network from a convenient personal dashboard on your computer or mobile device. The app provides access to security measures that are designed to keep your information, and your family, safe. The router is protected by tough 128-bit AES encryption with PSK that denies outsiders access to your wireless signal, and NETGEAR Armor™ offers additional tools and utilities that help keep you safe. If you have young ones in the house, use the router's parental controls to control their access, and filter out content you don't want them to see. The Nighthawk offers VPN support to keep your flow of information secure when you're working from home. (Subscription required for some advanced features.)
