NETGEAR's new "Fighter" router is launched with high specifications! Support WiFi 6 new generation transmission standard
The pace of life of Hong Kong people is fast, and it’s hard to be a quickie! But I have one advantage: I know how to multitask and do several things at the same time. In the same way, in an era when everyone in the house has to access the Internet, the router in the house also needs to connect many machines to the Internet at the same time. For Hong Kong people, the importance of the router is second only to whether it has to be reworked. Level.
Even if your home is upgraded to 1000M broadband, the router performance and inline transmission are not fast enough. If several people watch 4K high-definition movies at the same time, the machine will lag, seriously affecting the Internet speed.
American high-end network brand NETGEAR recently launched a new generation of Nighthawk "warplane" router - Nighthawk AX8 (RAX8), which mainly improves network capacity to connect more WiFi devices, and improves and enhances smart home performance to achieve high capacity, high speed, and high performance. Efficiency coupled with high coverage is a new generation standard of the "Four Highs".
Multiple machines can access the Internet at the same time to ensure high speed and stability
RAX80 is suitable for families that need to connect multiple network devices, providing a faster and more stable wireless Internet experience, preparing for current and future smart homes. The appearance of RAX80 has been carefully designed and tested repeatedly in the laboratory. The four high-performance antennas are hidden under the "wings" and are still in the best positioning, providing strong and reliable WiFi coverage; taking into account both the appearance and the high performance.
RAX80 adopts the latest WiFi 6 standard, which opens more available channels than the previous AC WiFi standard, supports more simultaneous traffic and reduces interference, making the network capacity and average throughput of RAX80 four times higher than the previous AC WiFi standard; more OFDMA technology is used to optimize WiFi transmission, reducing the contention time required to send the same data packets, effectively reducing delays and being able to handle more large traffic transmissions at the same time.
<RAX80 key features>
▲Powerful quad-core processor
RAX80 uses a 64-bit 1.8GHz quad-core processor, which can transmit multiple data with almost zero CPU load, allowing you to enjoy ultra-high-definition 4K videos or games at the same time without interruption.
▲Multi-Giga Port transmission
RAX80 supports WAN Port merging, and the total transmission speed of the two WAN Ports is up to 2Gbps. Provides high-speed internet speeds to homes.
▲OFDMA
RAX80 supports bidirectional (uplink, download) OFDMA. Each wireless channel can be divided into smaller Resource Units (RU), allowing RAX80 to transmit more than one device at the same time and in the same space. Compared with previous 802.11ac technology, RAX80 can transmit more than one device at the same time. Only one device can be processed in the same space, and RAX80 can greatly improve transmission efficiency.
▲4x4:4 multi-user multiple-input multiple-output technology MU-MIMO
RAX80 dual-band supports 4x4 MU-MIMO, and each channel supports 4 spatial streams. The dual-band can support 8 spatial streams at the same time, which is four times higher than the network capacity and average throughput of the 2x2 AC WiFi series.
▲NIGHTHAWK APP
Supports NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK APP, users can directly set, control or monitor RAX80 through the mobile APP. It can also be used for remote monitoring via the Internet. Even if you are not at home, you still have a clear understanding of your home network.
