Once seen, there's no mistaking Netgear's latest flagship statement from the world of wireless routers . The R7000 – also known as the Nighthawk – is boldly styled after the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth strike figher, both dark and angular slabs with...
Netgear was one of the first companies to launch a draft 802.11ac wireless router in 2012, with the well-regarded R6300. Almost two years later, the fledgling Wi-Fi technology has only inched along but Netgear's statement in noir seems to make good use of...

The Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is a router that squeezes as much as possible onto the specification list. With a reasonably high price of £165 (US$184, AU$255), it's a high-end model, and it comes with a 1GHz dual-core processor. It supports triple-stream 80...

Although the R7000 is fast, it costs around the same amount as the Linksys EA6900 and the Asus RT-AC68U. Their routers don't look as good, but have much better software. Therefore my preference edges across to them slightly. But the R7000 is still a fine...

What is the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk? This is Netgear's long awaited ‘AC1900 Wi-Fi' rival to current top dogs the Linksys EA6900 and Asus RT-AC68U . We say "long awaited" because this sassily named router actually launched at the same time as its rivals in...

The first 802.11ac router we tested was the Netgear R6300, back in the summer of 2012, but it has been relatively quiet at Netgear regarding 802.11ac since then. Although new models appeared with the R6200 and R6250, these were positioned lower than the...

You need that beefy ARM processor to power simultaneous 5GHz 802.11ac and 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless connections along with Gigabit LAN and WAN wired Ethernet. The specification puts the Nighthawk R7000 at the high end of the market so it is fairly predictab...
