The Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi Router delivers combined WiFi connection speeds up to

AC1750 (450 Mbps

at 2.4 GHz 802.11n and 1300 Mbps

at 5 GHz 802.11ac). Nighthawk is

ideal for bandwidth-hungry activities such as online gaming and video streaming, powered by a

dual-core 1 GHz processor. High-powered amplifiers with antennas provide WiFi coverage

anywhere around your home, inside or out.

For gamers, Nighthawk supports upstream Quality of Service (QoS) optimized for online game

play with game consoles like Xbox. For uninterrupted HD streaming media, Nighthawk features

downstream QoS to identify and prioritize streaming traffic from websites like Netflix, YouTube,

and Hulu Plus.

Nighthawk provides fast central storage, backup, and streaming to every device in your home

with the USB 3.0 port (10 times faster than USB 2.0). Sharing content across your network is

easy, whether you’re accessing stored photos and music or printing wirelessly. Stream your

stored media files anywhere on the network to DLNA screens. Share your music to

AirPlay-compatible devices from the USB hard drive connected to the router. Use the free

NETGEAR ReadySHARE Vault app to back up your Windows computers to a USB hard drive

connected to Nighthawk.
