Description
This router supports 802.11ax, has a powerful 64bit 2.2GHz quad-core processor, and is NETGEAR's first home router with a 5Gig port. It has eight high-performance antennas that extend wireless range indoors and out, and supports Multi-Gig speeds. It also has a powerful design that conceals its antennas under its "wings."
Improved Network Capacity for More WiFi Devices Nighthawk
AX12 12-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) - the
latest WiFi standard with four times increased data capacities to
handle today and tomorrow's growing home network. Blazing-fast
combined WiFi speeds up to 6Gbps and an AX optimized 64bit 2.2GHz
quad-core processor powers smart home applications, ultra-smooth 4K
UHD streaming, online gaming, and more. AX WiFi features Orthogonal
Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) that dramatically
increases network capacity as compared to today's WiFi and reduces
latency for a better WiFi experience making it ideal for a
household with many WiFi devices. Plus, eight high-performance
antennas amplify WiFi signals for maximized range and reliable
coverage. Nighthawk AX12 is also NETGEAR's first home router with a
5Gig port.
Improved Capacity for Smart Home Automation Your
WiFi won't slow you down, even when multiple devices in your home
are uploading videos, surfing the web and sending text messages.
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) increases
network capacity and efficiency through smarter traffic scheduling
to manage all high-bandwidth activities while simultaneously
supporting all your connected smart home devices. WiFi traffic is
managed much more efficiently, transmitting data from different
devices concurrently, rather than having each device's data wait
for its turn.
12-Streams WiFi - Improved Efficiency, Reduced
Latency Twelve WiFi streams-that is, four in the 2.4GHz band
and eight in the 5GHz band- enables the router to send and receive
more data from the devices. Essentially, more spatial streams means
more available bandwidth and less congestion for all the devices in
the WiFi network. Nighthawk AX12 also supports sending up to eight
multi-user MIMO transmissions at a time-four more than the existing
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) routers. Maintain fast and reliable wireless
connections throughout your home, even when multiple devices are
concurrently streaming high-definition content.
Stronger
Security for your Home Network with WPA3 Nighthawk AX12
supports WPA3, the latest WiFi security protocol with new
capabilities to enhance WiFi protection for your home network.
Features such as improved password-based authentication and
stronger encryption provide high-level of security for all
connected devices on your network.
Stream, Game and Work Without
Interruptions 64bit 2.2GHz quad-core processor is the
ultra-fast processor for your home router, providing smoother 4K
UHD streaming and online/VR gaming, as well as a stronger, more
reliable WiFi experience. This powerful processor is optimized for
AX, ensuring speed and performance for more smart home devices and
high-speed applications.
New Multi-Gigabit Wired Speeds Let
your devices run at their highest speed over existing wiring. The
multi-gigabit Ethernet port on AX12 gives you five times faster
speeds than the wired speed of a typical Gigabit port. Your network
attached storage (NAS) devices, switches, and other devices capable
of 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps speeds can now operate at full capacity. Use
the four gigabit Ethernet LAN ports to connect more wired devices
for faster file transfer and uninterrupted connections. Combine two
gigabit Ethernet ports to further improve the aggregated file
transfer speed. The Nighthawk AX12 is NETGEAR's first home router
offering Multi-Gig speeds with 5G/2.5G/1G Multi-Gig Ethernet LAN
port.
Powerful WiFi for the Whole Home Eight
high-performance antennas extend wireless range indoors and out.
The antennas are pre-optimized for best WiFi performance. Router
signals are amplified to maximize reach and reliability, letting
you use your WiFi in more places. Get stronger WiFi signals
throughout your home, whether for your basement gaming consoles or
for your outdoor security cameras.
