TECH

R

enowned 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!

Router has you

covered.
