(NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of award-winning connected products designed to simplify and improve people&#8217;s lives, today launched the first WiFi 7 router with its new addition to the award-winning Nighthawk line. Built by an experienced team with 25+ years of pioneering WiFi expertise, the <a href=\"\/home\/wifi\/routers\/rs700s\/\"><strong><u>NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700 Router is spearheading the WiFi 7 revolution<\/u><\/strong><\/a>. Packed with unprecedented power, the all-new RS700 delivers up to 19Gbps\u221e of blazing-fast WiFi, more than doubling the speed of previous generations.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic2\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Entering the world of WiFi 7<\/h2>\n                <p>The WiFi requirements of modern, hyper-connected homes continue to push the boundaries of today\u2019s WiFi standards. With the rise of faster multi-gig internet speeds now available to more and more households, the growing number of connected devices per family and the ever-increasing growth of bandwidth hungry 4K\/8K video streaming, HD Zoom calls, hybrid collaborative graphics-intensive work, highly interactive real-time gaming and AR\/VR applications and experiences, WiFi continues to evolve to support faster speeds, lower latency and increased capacity. While WiFi 6E opened the 6GHz band as a superhighway for the latest, fastest devices, WiFi 7 makes good on that promise by unleashing unprecedented speeds and performance. Maximizing that power, NETGEAR\u2019s RS700 router, powered by Broadcom\u2019s BCM6726\/3 WiFi 7 system on a chip (SOC), achieves speeds up to 19Gbps. The tri-band WiFi 7 router, from the creators of tri-band technology, enables a dramatic decrease in latency for real-time responsiveness for next-generation AR\/VR gaming or smooth UHD Zoom calls and 8K streaming for multiple simultaneous users.<\/p>\n<p>The RS700 also features a 10Gb internet port, to support the fastest internet speeds of today and tomorrow, as well as a 10Gb and four 1Gb LAN ports for fast, flexible wired connections. The router comes with one year of NETGEAR Armor\u2122 Powered by Bitdefender\u00ae, providing an automatic shield of security for all connected devices. Unlike traditional endpoint antivirus products, Armor is built into the router as a comprehensive security solution to monitor activity going to and from the internet, protecting computers, security cameras, baby monitors and other IoT devices and flagging external threats and nefarious outbound activities from IoT devices while eliminating the need for multiple security subscriptions or software.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic3\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>New aesthetic, maximum performance<\/h2>\n                <p>The Nighthawk RS700 Router sports a new, slender chassis with high-performance antennas providing 360 degrees of coverage optimized to support up to 200 concurrent client devices throughout the home. The 3D antenna design provides the best connection for all varieties of homes from sprawling ranch styles to multi-story brownstones. Meticulously designed radio frequency circuits drive maximum power to push WiFi signals to the farthest range, up to 3500 sq. ft. The slim profile also makes for a smaller overall footprint, helping the router to fit unobtrusively on a bookshelf or tabletop.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the launch of our Nighthawk RS700 Router, we\u2019re setting the pace for adoption of the next generation WiFi,\u201d said David Henry, president &amp; GM of Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR. \u201cThe RS700 is purposefully constructed for the highest possible performance. We\u2019ve deployed our decades of RF expertise to maximize antenna range within a compact design that minimizes interference while fitting flawlessly into any home environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The router includes link aggregation for concurrent multi-gig internet and LAN access, which offers a graceful transition for a home network to upgrade to a multi-gig network. A USB hard drive can be connected for network attached storage to facilitate large file backup or sharing as well as high-quality media streaming.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic4\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Technical specifications:<\/h2>\n                <p>320MHz high-capacity channels &amp; 4K QAM \u2013 New, ultra-wide bandwidth means 2.4x the speed to your connected devices.

Compatible with any internet service provider.<br \/>\nMore wired ports on every device \u2013 Plug in wired devices to improve performance via a 10Gbps and four 1Gbps LAN ports.<br \/>\nMore to come<\/p>\n<p>Although powerful on its own with high speeds and broad coverage, RS700 routers can be networked together via Nighthawk Mesh to provide wall-to-wall WiFi speed even in the largest homes. The router also enables four separate networks to maximize performance. In addition to a main and a guest network, users can create a priority network for low-latency applications such as streaming and gaming, ensuring a lag-free experience without interference from slower devices. Smart home devices can be isolated on the IoT network to prevent any possible intrusion from affecting the other networks. These features will be available in future software releases.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic5\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Availability<\/h2>\n                <p>The NETGEAR Nighthawk\u00ae WiFi 7 Tri-Band Router RS700S will be available in the US starting in Q2 2023, on NETGEAR.com first and at other major retailers subsequently.

Consumer electronics, software, biotech, gaming, exploration, education -- all things I understand and can translate into terms that spark excitement in others. My career began in medical research and pivoted to scientific writing. From there, I moved on to journalism, writing about health and fitness and even dabbling in sports writing for Padres and Chargers Magazines. I found my way to healthcare PR, leading programs for medical practices and healthcare systems large and small before making the leap to technology. As an in house leader for gaming, edutainment, IoT, enterprise software and consumer electronics companies, I've created and implemented comprehensive promotional plans that generated not only media and consumer interest, but fueled corporate financial growth. On the agency side, I've applied my creativity and enthusiasm to activations for industry giants and startups alike. I'm a business leader with a proven track record of managing global, cross-functional teams while mentoring individuals and spurring them to excellence. A self-proclaimed geek, I have an abiding love for gadgets, learning new things, the scientific method and pop culture. With in house, agency and journalistic experience, I understand communications from all angles. My skills include: - Global Team\/Agency Management - Creative Planning\/Strategic Counsel - Positioning\/Message Development - Executive Communications: Speech Writing\/Media Training - Media Relations - Crisis Communications - Event Production -Content Creation - Earned, Paid and Social Media","sameAs":["https:\/\/pressroom.netgear.com"],"url":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/author\/vmotis\/"}]}},"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7910"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11794,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7910\/revisions\/11794"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
