Delivering Multiple Management Options

Nighthawk X4S is the newest addition to the premium NETGEAR Nighthawk range of products and represents a giant leap forward from the Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart WiFi Router (R7500) launched in 2014, taking it to the next level in terms of speed. The new Nighthawk X4S supports Wave 2 WiFi features like quad-stream architecture for both 2.4 and 5GHz, Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), and160MHz bandwidth. It joins the company’s top-end router launched in October, the award-winning Wave 2 Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band Quad-Stream Smart WiFi Router (R8500), but with dual band and offered at a more aggressive price point.

"Data availability and integrity are the top priorities of any business today," said Douglas Cheung, senior product line manager for NETGEAR Storage. "ReadyNAS 3138 gives businesses an industry-leading data protection solution, with exceptional performance, at an attractive price point. This makes ReadyNAS 3138 the ideal choice for storage for any growing business."

Designed for mobile professionals and families on the go who want an easy way to share a single mobile broadband connection, the AirCard 790 mobile hotspot integrates simplicity, usability, and reliability with exceptional features. This lightweight, pocket-sized, portable hotspot supports up to 15 laptops, tablets, smartphones, digital cameras, gaming consoles, and other WiFi-enabled devices simultaneously, making it one of the best mobile companions for a busy lifestyle. With its long-lasting battery, Jump Boost capability, and the ability to automatically switch between 3G and 4G LTE, you’ll stay continuously connected anytime, anywhere, without needing to rely on open, public WiFi hotspots that could put your online security at risk to thieves or hackers.

Cable Internet bandwidth is shared with other cable subscribers in your neighborhood, so you may see decreased performance during peak usage times. However, having a high-speed cable modem like the new NETGEAR CM600 (which supports 24 download bonded channels simultaneously) means that you have a fatter “pipe” for Internet traffic as compared to your neighbors with a cable modem that only supports four download bonded channels. As a result, during peak hours the fatter pipe will help you receive the subscribed data speed of your cable service.

When used in larger deployments, these APs are also ready to support controller management as well as cloud management through NETGEAR Business Central, a cloud-based IT service platform (http://wireless.netgear.com). Support for both NETGEAR ProSAFE WC7600 and WC9500 Controllers and for Business Central is scheduled to become available in the first quarter of 2016, with requisite licenses and controllers sold separately.

ReadyNAS 212 and 214 are the fastest consumer NAS devices in the market, delivering up to 200MBps/read (megabytes per second) and 160MBps/write throughput. As more 802.11ac WiFi devices are connected to the home network, the one gigabit-per-second speed of an Ethernet port has increasingly become a bottleneck. ReadyNAS 212 and 214 offer you the option of connecting the second Ethernet port on your ReadyNAS in a Link Aggregation mode with a NETGEAR Nighthawk® X8 AC5300 Smart WiFi Router (R8500), or NETGEAR ProSAFE® Gigabit Smart Switch, or an IEEE 802.3ad compliant network device. This “port trunking” capability means that ReadyNAS 212 and 214 can deliver up to twice the throughput compared to a single Ethernet cable connection.

Due to the recent explosion in popularity of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, the average household today has more than 12 WiFi devices connecting to its network, according to a new survey conducted by market research firm MarketLab. The proliferation of these devices is expected to grow exponentially in the next few years as the “Internet of Things” (IoT) smart home becomes a reality. The next-generation Nighthawk X8 WiFi router from NETGEAR ensures the bandwidth required to support this ever-growing number of networked devices. The Nighthawk X8 delivers the best WiFi speed across all your devices, even when your family members are streaming, gaming, and downloading files at the same time.

The convenient and travel-friendly Jetpack AC791L supports up to 15 WiFi-enabled devices simultaneously — smartphones, notebook and tablet computers, printers, cameras, e-book readers, etc. — so you can securely share WiFi with friends, family and co-workers while on the go for business or leisure. It features an intuitive user interface, and with the ability to automatically switch between 3G and 4G, the Jetpack AC791L enables you to stay continuously connected anytime, anywhere, for up to 24 hours or a month on standby**. Combining ultimate power and performance in one portable device, you can even take your WiFi with you abroad as the Jetpack AC791L is a World Device™ for international use in more than 200 countries.

The dual-core 1.4GHz processor that powers Nighthawk X4S boosts wireless, wired, and USB performance. Nighthawk X4S takes full advantage of the world’s fastest AC WiFi technology that’s already embedded into your latest mobile devices, while still backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n devices. Within the home or local network, Nighthawk X4S delivers incredibly fast wireless up to 2.53Gbps* (AC2600 WiFi = 800Mbps+1733Mbps*) and Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
