Renowned for delivering high end
performance, NETGEAR's Nighthawk
range wouldn't look out of place
fixed to the fuselage of a Northrop
Grumman B-2 stealth bomber. The
NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900
VDSL/ADSL WiFi Modem Router (D7000)
is the latest in this uniquely designed line,
combining both modem and router in one
neat package.
Built with gaming, streaming and mobile
devices in mind, the Nighthawk D7000
WiFi Modem Router has a 1GHz dual core
processor and, from what we've come to
expect from the Nighthawk series, delivers
extreme speed; ultimately, you will enjoy less
lag and buffering.
The D7000 features advanced QoS (quality
of service) to prioritise gaming and streaming
traffic so other devices or activities on the
network won’t slow you down. This means
you can enjoy uninterrupted streaming on
YouTube or Twitch with limited buffering. And
with high-powered amplifiers and antennas,
and beamforming+, you’ll eliminate any WiFi
dead spots and have strong and reliable WiFi
no matter where you connect in the home.
Regular online video game players
will certainly notice the difference using
the modem router. We extensively
trialled the D7000 playing League of
Legends and had minimal ping and no
disconnections.
Running out of room on your drives,
or just want to have a reliable backup?
The solution is simple: just attach an
external hard drive to enable quick,
easy, convenient and secure storage.
The aforementioned breakneck
speed is made possible by using the latest
802.11ac WiFi that can push between 600
and 1300 Mbps across the home network;
that's mighty fast.
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports allow for hard-
wired devices, while the two 3.0 USB ports
(NETGEAR are currently the only company
to offer this) allow content to be shared
wirelessly with lightning speed throughout
the network once a hard drive or USB flash
drive are connected.
And for homes yet to receive the NBN or
VDSL – a faster tech than standard ADSL but
not yet as ubiquitous – users can rest assured
that a further financial outlay is not necessary
if the Nighthawk D7000 is purchased now;
the versatile unit can connect to any current
or future Internet service.
NETGEAR's contemporary products are
known for ease of use and set-up, and this
is certainly the case here; even the least
technically-minded in the home can get it up
and running with minimum fuss. The handy
NETGEAR Genie App covers all bases with a
personal dashboard to monitor, control and
repair your home network anytime, anywhere.
With so much content streamed in modern
households to a myriad of different devices
all connected to the Internet, there is nothing
more infuriating than constant buffering.
For online gaming, lag is enough to evoke
fury in even the most placid of players. The
NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 VDSL/ADSL
WiFi Modem Router (D7000) takes a huge
stride to eradicate these problems.
If you're due to upgrade the modem router
in the home and are looking for a future-proof
product that will deliver high performance in
even the largest homes, the D7000 could well
be the answer. Game on!
