Overview
A dual-core processor drives this Nighthawk's dual-band radios, with detachable external antennas and beamforming to improve range and reliability. Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB ports handle wired devices and storage.
Choose it for a household that streams and games across many devices, where traffic prioritization matters. The data lists two different speed figures and some control fields that do not fit a router.
Who it's for
A medium home with wired and wireless gear suits the gigabit ports and amplified antennas. Buyers wanting the newest wireless standard or a long warranty should check other routers.
Pros and cons
- Gigabit Ethernet ports
- Detachable external antennas
- Dynamic QoS prioritization
- USB ports for storage
- Speed fields conflict (1300 versus 1900)
- Voice control fields look unreliable
- Warranty is only one year
- Older wireless generation
Performance notes
The processor and amplifiers handle many connections, while the antennas and directional signal shaping aim coverage toward devices. Dynamic QoS puts streaming and gaming traffic ahead of other use. The headline speed is a combined band total, so a single device sees less than that.
