Netgear unveils Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 router for home segment

Netgear has announced the launch of its Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 routers; the Nighthawk AX4(INR 29,999/-) and AX8 (INR 39,999)-in Bengaluru.

Today’s households are dealing with an increasing number of connected devices and an increasing demand for greater bandwidth from streaming video, audio, and online gaming.

Add to this the plethora of smart home devices from IP cameras, voice assistants, smart thermostats and appliances, all of which are dependent on a constant connection to the cloud. These devices just increase the complexity of a network as they compete for bandwidth, pushing wireless home networks beyond the technical threshold for the current generation of Wi-Fi. Netgear has solved this modern-day dilemma with the introduction of a full suite of ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6 routers.

Speaking at the launch, Marthesh Nagendra, Country Manager – India & SAARC, Netgear added,“With the increasing number of Wi-Fi devices in our home network, it is has become critical for NETGEAR to provide a solution where each device gets the Wi-Fi bandwidth it needs so that you can get the quality connected experience that you deserve.”

Speaking at the India launch, Patrick Lo, Chairman and CEO of Netgear commented, “At Netgear we strive to push our boundaries with innovative technology and solutions. The previous Wi-Fi iterations have been largely about enhancements to speed, the AX Wi-Fi 6 router promises a number of other benefits such as lower battery consumption, ability to serve multiple users and devices at the same time and most notably increased capacity and reduced latency.”
