Ask anyone what they expect from their home router, and they’ll always mention speed, coverage, dependability, and security. With more connected devices than ever and a growing need for bandwidth and speed, it’s easy to see why WI-FI routers have become the heart of every modern home.
But as digital needs change and the smart home keeps growing around us, 4K/8K video streaming, video calls, collaborative tools, interactive gaming, and VR applications, which often run at the same time, continue to push the technical limits of today’s connected home, forcing the adoption of new, better protocols.
NETGEAR’s new WI-FI 7 router is designed to solve all your home networking problems. With speeds up to 19 Gbps, the new Nighthawk RS700 is 2.4 times faster than the current WI-FI 6E standard. It also offers a wider range of up to 3,500 square feet, lower latency for improved real-time responsiveness, quicker connections, and a larger total bandwidth.
Overall, the NETGEAR Nighthawk is a high-performance device that streamlines all your digital experiences at home and provides next-generation high-speed connectivity in any environment.
But performance isn’t enough when building the digital home of the future. Almost every device in your home, from your computer and cell phone to your smart TV, thermostat, and baby monitor, connects to your WI-FI router. This makes it very important to protect your home network from cyberattacks.
The push for faster downloads and increased connectivity has given cybercriminals new opportunities to penetrate home networks. Hackers routinely take advantage of the increase in bandwidth to launch attacks like phishing, malware, and distributed denial of service (DDoS), as well as more complex attacks. In fact, according to recent research, some home networks see an average of eight attacks against devices every 24 hours.
Luckily, the new NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700 is designed to protect your family and devices from cyberthreats. The router comes equipped with a feature called NETGEAR Armor that acts like a shield for your WI-FI network and automatically protects every connected device, including smart home devices like thermostats, cameras, and locks. And because some connected devices have software security flaws that make them vulnerable to hackers and cyberattacks, NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender helps you find these weaknesses and suggests ways to fix them.
Protects against all threats. With viruses, spyware, ransomware, phishing, and other scams popping up everywhere. NETGEAR Armor keeps your Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices safe from all kinds of threats by identifying them and blocking them before they reach you. And since Bitdefender Security is part of your Amor plan, you can install it on all your devices to get the same protection you have at home, even when you’re on the go.
Added privacy protection. Bitdefender VPN is now included as part of Bitdefender Security, making it possible for you to browse the web in a more secure manner and encrypting your internet connection to keep your online activity private and safe. 200MB of encrypted data traffic is included per day for free.
Keeps you up to date. Because it’s crucial to know how secure your devices are at all times, NETGEAR Armor sends notifications whenever a new threat is identified and blocked. It also gives you an overall protection level rating and suggestions on how to improve it.
In conclusion, when shopping for a new WI-FI router, prioritizing the combination of speed and security is essential. As digital needs change and the smart home expands, it’s important to keep in mind that convenience should never be prioritized over safety. While faster speeds ensure an improved user experience, compromising on security puts you and your loved ones at risk.
