The Nighthawk X4S AC2600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router provides a built-in
fast DSL modem for broadband that is compatible with legacy ADSL, ADSL2
and ADSL2+ connections as well as lightning-fast VDSL and VDSL2 speeds.
Its Gigabit Ethernet WAN port is compatible with any Internet service so
that Nighthawk X4S also offers a future-ready upgrade to fiber/cable
options.
The dual-core 1.4GHz processor that powers Nighthawk X4S boosts
wireless, wired, and USB performance. Nighthawk X4S takes full advantage
of the world’s fastest AC WiFi technology that’s already embedded into
your latest mobile devices, while still backward compatible with 802.11
a/b/g/n devices. Within the home or local network, Nighthawk X4S
delivers incredibly fast wireless up to 2.53Gbps* (AC2600 WiFi =
800Mbps+1733Mbps*) and Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Quad-Stream Wave 2 WiFi, the industry’s latest WiFi technology, means
the X4S supports up to four data streams in each WiFi band, maximizing
connection speeds for faster gaming and smoother HD video streaming with
greater clarity and less buffering. Moreover, high-powered amplifiers,
four high-performance external antennas and Beamforming+ improve the X4S
range and reliability to extend WiFi coverage and reduce dead spots.
With MU-MIMO technology designed for simultaneous streaming of data for
multiple devices, Nighthawk X4S provides major bandwidth improvement in
next-generation mobile devices. It is especially appropriate for home
networks with multiple device connections such as smartphones; notebook,
tablet and desktop computers; gaming consoles; smart TVs; and Blu-ray®
players. Instead of sending data to one device at a time, like
traditional WiFi routers, the Nighthawk X4S with MU-MIMO will deliver
data in parallel to multiple devices simultaneously, essentially
doubling the throughput. As a result, you can stream 4K video to one
device while also playing an intense multi-user video game on a
different device.
“If multiple people in your household are streaming HD Internet content
at the same time, it’s very likely that the DSL modem router you get in
your subscriber service package is not capable of supporting your
bandwidth needs,” said David Henry, vice president of product marketing
and engineering, NETGEAR Home Networking. “With the Nighthawk X4S AC2600
WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router, you’ll take advantage of the fastest
processor in a DSL modem router combined with the latest innovations in
wireless technology for the best experience you can get today for
streaming, gaming and file sharing.”
Moreover, Nighthawk X4S offers a unique Dynamic QoS prioritization
capability. Instead of treating all devices and applications as the
same, Dynamic QoS recognizes each individual application and the device
it is running on, and prioritizes their network traffic accordingly.
Whether you are using your smartphone, tablet or laptop computer for
gaming, streaming, transferring files or web browsing, Nighthawk X4S
ensures that you are getting the most effective network connection for
the best possible experience.
Nighthawk X4S has four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting wired
devices like game consoles, smart TVs, or streaming players to your
existing WiFi network. You can easily add storage by connecting a drive
to the twin SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports or one eSATA port on the Nighthawk
X4S, giving you fast access to all your treasured files and multimedia
content. The two built-in USB 3.0 ports are NETGEAR ReadySHARE®-enabled
for wirelessly accessing and sharing content on USB hard drives from any
device in your home network. ReadySHARE printing capability means you
can wirelessly access and share a USB printer, creating the total
package for consumer or home office needs.
Nighthawk X4S offers the highest levels of wireless security to ensure
your family’s online safety and privacy. Not only do you have VPN
support for secure access to your home network, but you can also set up
a free URL to create your personal FTP server.
You’ll keep your content safe with NETGEAR ReadySHARE Vault™, free
application software that takes automatic backups of incremental changes
on all PCs in your home network and saves them to a USB hard drive
connected to the Nighthawk X4S modem router.
Nighthawk X4S also supports the unique capabilities of the NETGEAR
genie® app. The user-friendly NETGEAR genie, already enjoyed by more
than 6 million NETGEAR customers worldwide, is your personal dashboard
that makes it easy to install, monitor, control and repair your home
network. You can easily access your home network, view the real-time
network map of all the connected devices on your network, check
bandwidth usage, block WiFi devices, set up guest WiFi, and manage
parental controls for safer web surfing on a per-device basis, all
through the app. The NETGEAR MyMedia™ feature enables you to find and
play your stored media files from anywhere on your network to your
DLNA®-ready TVs and music system. You can also make any printer
AirPrint® compatible for printing from an iPad® or iPhone®.
