NETGEAR Nighthawk AX12 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router for Improved Network Capacity

New Delhi, India, February 17, 2020- Today’s
households are dealing with an increasing number of connected devices that
demand a greater bandwidth for streaming video, audio and online gaming. These
devices 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 deciphered this modern-day dilemma with the
introduction of a full suite of ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6 Routers.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-band AX12 12-Stream
Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX200) supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) rendering four times of the
increased data capacities to handle today and tomorrow’s growing home network.
The AX12 is powered by a quad-core 2.2 GHz processor, offering 10.8GBps Wi-Fi
speeds and a 2.5G multi-gig Ethernet interface as either a LAN or WAN. For
mobile devices, the router supports Gigabit Wi-Fi, as well as interface-free
channels with dynamic frequency selection. The router includes a single 2.4GHz
band and 5GHz bands.

The NETGEAR AX12 is a powerful Wi-Fi 6 Router that
uses three bands with a combined Wi-Fi speed of 10.8Gbps3. This provides the
ideal solution for the growing needs of households with an ever-increasing
number of connected devices vying for internet bandwidth simultaneously.
Tri-Band Wi-Fi provides an additional Wi-Fi band to reduce congestion and
provide a better-connected experience across multiple devices simultaneously.
The latest Wi-Fi 6 technology provides four times the amount of data capacity
over that of the previous generation of Wi-Fi routers (802.11ac), also now
known as Wi-Fi 5.

Using the Nighthawk AX12 Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router,
households can expect a combined 10.8Gbps of bandwidth for all their networking
needs from simultaneous 4K/8K UHD video streaming to gaming and other high-bandwidth
consuming activities. With a single Wi-Fi name across the three bands,
Nighthawk RAX200, using Smart Connect technology, intelligently distributes all
the connected devices to the appropriate Wi-Fi band based on the speed of the
device ensuring the best utilization of the available bandwidth.

Speaking on the occasion, Marthesh Nagendra, Country
Manager – India & SAARC, NETGEAR added, “At NETGEAR, our focus has always
been on innovation in the Wi-Fi space. Wi-Fi 6 is the most significant change
to the Wi-Fi standard over the years. We are pleased to induct AX12 router to
the NETGEAR family with the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard. The new Wi-Fi 6 technology
will offer increased capacity and the capability to connect simultaneously with
multiple client devices while making the world of Internet of Things much more
sustainable due to the expansive bandwidth.”

Increased Capacity for the Smart Home

With its powerful 1.8GHz quad-core processor and
support for multi-gig internet connections, the Nighthawk Tri-band AX12 router
will help to keep up with the increasing internet speeds being delivered to
homes.

The Nighthawk Tri-band AX12 sets you up for faster
speeds and latest Wi-Fi technology in the foreseeable future as
computers, mobile and IoT devices adopt the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, while
continuing to support all of your existing Wi-Fi devices. The Nighthawk
Tri-band AX12 can deliver more than one Gigabit of throughput to mobile devices
that support 160MHz bandwidth.
