NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of

The Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi router combines a
powerful 1.7GHz Quad Core processor — the fastest processor in a
home router — and Quad-Stream Wave 2 WiFi architecture plus next
generation high speed 802.11ad WiFi, so you can enjoy blazing-fast
combined wireless speeds up to a furious 7.2Gbps*. The latest
MU-MIMO technology supports simultaneous streaming, while 160MHz
doubles WiFi speeds to mobile devices. Four patent-pending external
Active Antennas amplify Nighthawk X10 WiFi signals to maximize
range and throughput.“The superior capabilities of 802.11ad will
greatly enhance the user experience when dealing with applications
that require the transferring of large amounts of data. 802.11ad
also provides approximately one-tenth the latency as compared to
802.11ac, which is absolutely critical for applications like
virtual reality or augmented reality,” said Michael Thelander,
President of Signals Research Group.
The Nighthawk X10 supports Plex Media Server
with transcoding for ultra-smooth 4K streaming, even to remote
devices. The Nighthawk X10 is the industry’s first router to run
Plex Media Server without the need for a computer. From locally
connected storage, Plex organizes your movies, TV shows, music,
video, and photo collections, making it easy to find and enjoy the
content you love. Smoothly stream anywhere you go, on virtually any
device—phones, tablets, streaming devices, gaming consoles, and
smart TVs all support Plex apps. Compared to storing video content
on a PC, Plex Media Server with Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi router is
easy to set up and always on. With the purchase of a Nighthawk X10,
enjoy these premium features with a free three-month Plex Pass.
NETGEAR Nighthawk X10 is also the industry’s
first router designed for the home market that includes a 10Gigabit
port, which supports a fiber connection. Offering lightning-fast
backup and streaming from Network Attached Storage devices – such
as NETGEAR® ReadyNAS – Nighthawk X10 is the ideal solution for
personal HD video collections. The two USB 3.0 ports make it easy
to add storage for backup and file transfer over WiFi. Additional
storage options with the Nighthawk X10 includes six months of free
unlimited Amazon Drive backup for an off-site cloud copy of one’s
files.
“Nighthawk X10 sets a new bar for performance
and a new record for speed when moving large video files within
your network and to the cloud,” said David Henry, senior vice
president for home networking at NETGEAR. “Today’s video files are
getting larger with 4k and VR video. Offloading from capture
devices and moving these large files within a network often becomes
a time-consuming and challenging task. The Nighthawk X10 is
powerful enough to move these files at unprecedented speed and
provides easy access once the file is stored on the network.”
