NETGEAR, a leading provider of secure and innovative solutions for digital connectivity, has just announced the addition of three new WiFi 7 routers to its popular Nighthawk lineup: the Nighthawk RS600, RS500, and RS200. These new models aim to make the latest WiFi 7 technology more accessible, bringing ultra-fast speeds, robust security, and seamless connectivity to homes of all sizes. With prices starting at $229, these routers offer powerful features that cater to various needs and budgets, ensuring that homes are equipped for the growing demands of multi-gig internet, smart home devices, and cybersecurity.
WiFi 7, the next giant leap in wireless technology, has revolutionized internet speeds and performance. Offering speeds up to 2.4x faster than WiFi 6, WiFi 7 provides low latency, increased capacity, and faster throughput, making it ideal for households with multiple smart home devices. With IoT devices, video streaming, and AI-driven applications becoming more common, WiFi 7 routers like NETGEAR's Nighthawk lineup ensure all devices can connect with blazing speeds and minimal interference.
“WiFi 7 represents a monumental leap forward in wireless technology, and adoption has quickly picked up momentum with more and more WiFi 7 devices coming to market, including the recently announced iPhone 16,” said David Henry, president and GM of Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR. “NETGEAR’s latest Nighthawk RS600, RS500, and RS200 routers gives more households access to the connectivity benefits of WiFi 7 while also delivering robust network security to protect their homes and digital lives.”
Since the launch of NETGEAR's WiFi 7 router, the Nighthawk RS700S, in early 2024, WiFi 7 adoption has accelerated rapidly. Many WiFi 7-compatible devices, such as the new iPhone 16, have already hit the market, making this new technology more critical for users looking to future-proof their home networks.
NETGEAR's new additions to the Nighthawk family offer various performance levels and coverage to suit household needs. Whether you're looking for extreme speeds and coverage or want reliable internet at a budget-friendly price, these routers have you covered.
