Netgear Nighthawk Pro gaming router features one 10G LAN SFP+ port connection for low-latency LAN gaming parties. Seven gigabit ethernet ports allow to aggregate two ports for faster file transfer gaming.

Wired or wireless, the 1.7GHz Quad-Core processor boosts your network performance up to 7.2Gbps.

AD7200 Quad Stream Wave2 WiFi provides up to 4600 (60GHz)+1733 (5GHz)+800 (2.4GHz) Mbps wireless speed.

Gaming dashboard allows you to view real-time bandwidth utilization by device, ping and many other parameters. GEO-filter lets you control your lag by limiting distance to game servers or other players

"Anti-buffer bloat" (ABB) creates an express lane for gaming traffic. Using ABB and the XR700's quad-core processor to sort through your networking and prioritize traffic, you won't have to worry about lag ruining your day.

The router provides additional DFS channels—15 more channels in 5GHz for interference free gaming experience.

Using Multi-User MIMO technology, XR700 can stream data to multiple devices simultaneously. With MU-MIMO, your WiFi network can deliver faster throughput to every MU-MIMO connected device. That means faster downloads and smoother streaming for your devices.

Active antennas help improve WiFi performance by amplifying signals in the antenna itself. Thereby avoiding any signal loss during transmission between antenna and router board, as well as avoiding any noise insertion from the router board components. This provides cleaner and stronger receive signals for amplification from your mobile devices.

Serve all your media with Plex Media Server on your XR700 Nighthawk Pro Gaming WiFi Router, without need for a computer.
