NETGEAR brings in dual-band Wi-Fi 6 enabled Nighthawk RAX50 Router to India
Digital Edge Bureau 28 Dec, 2020 0 comment(s)Broadening its repertoire of Wi-Fi 6 enabled networking gears, NETGEAR has introduced dual-band Nighthawk RAX50 routers in the Indian market. It has also got multiple LAN ports, which can connect wired devices such as game consoles and smart TVs without purchasing an additional switching hub. So, one can enjoy buffer-free streaming, faster downloads, and can add more smart home devices without slowing down the Internet experience. It also offers better coverage and, more importantly, has the power and capacity to handle the dozens of devices in the typical congested smart home.
“We’re excited to bring the power and flexibility of Nighthawk to the Indian market, and lead the transition to Wi-Fi 6 ((802.11ax)). With the rising demand of super-fast and reliable home network, we at NETGEAR are constantly aiming to provide our consumers with various Wi-Fi devices that meet their expectations and solve their everyday Wi-Fi struggle”, said Marthesh Nagendra, Country Manager India, ME & SAARC, NETGEAR.
“The new Nighthawk AX5400 6-stream Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX50) provides consistent and powerful signal strength to multiple devices at the same time so you can enjoy smooth gaming and 4K UHD video streaming, and faster file transfers and backups. It also has more Wi-Fi streams which mean more available bandwidth and less congestion for all devices in the Wi-Fi network”, added Nagendra.
The Nighthawk RAX50 supports the Wi-Fi 6 technologies OFDMA that give more Wi-Fi for more devices by allowing efficient data transmission at the same time. Also designed as a dual-band model, the router theoretically supports a transmission rate of up to 5.4 Gbit/s over 2.4 and 5 GHz. While 600 Mbit/s are possible over 2.4 GHz, up to 4.8 Gbit/s can be achieved over 5 GHz with 4 × 4. The Nighthawk AX6 also offers a USB 3.0 port and five Gigabit LAN connections.
The latest device lets you experience smoother 4K streaming and high-performance online gaming and is designed to deliver a new level of Gigabit Wi-Fi connectivity so you can connect, stream and download faster to newer mobile devices. The powerful 1.5GHz Triple-Core processor with a fully offloaded CPU increases the overall performance of the network. Engineered to deliver up to 4 times the data capacity over previous standards, Wi-Fi 6 technology, 160MHz channel support and 1024 QAM vastly improve network efficiency. High-powered amplifiers increase the range for reliable whole-home coverage.
As part of the Nighthawk series, the new Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 system is designed to appeal to enthusiasts who want to combine high Wi-Fi coverage with features like Dynamic QoS, which automatically prioritizes both video streaming and gaming data. The Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 system is available with one or two satellites, and additional satellites can be added later. It is set up using the free Nighthawk app for Android and iOS, which is then used to manage the network.
