Netgear launched its first WiFi 7 router with its Nighthawk line and speeds up to 19 gigabits per second (Gbps).
The Nighthawk RS700 Router is the company’s spearhead to join the WiFi 7 market. The new tech could double the speed of WiFi over previous generations while adding capacity and lowering latency, or interaction delays, said Sandeep Harpalani, vice president product management at Netgear, in an interview with GamesBeat.
The WiFi requirements of modern, hyper-connected homes continue to push the boundaries of today’s 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.
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. The tri-band WiFi 7 router 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.
