Nighthawk® Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
Using the OFDMA1 feature of WiFi 6, the WiFi trafc is managed much more efciently since data is transmitted from different
devices concurrently, rather than having each device’s data wait for its turn. This results in an efcient use of air-time, reduced latency,
and increased bandwidth to add more devices to your network.
Ultra-powerful AX-optimized Quad-core Processor
The Nighthawk Tri-band WiFi 6 Mesh System, powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, is built for performance at an ultimate level.
The ultra-fast processor enables the router to seamlessly handle data-intensive applications such as 4K UHD video streaming, VR/AR
gaming, as well as provide a stronger, more reliable WiFi experience. This powerful processor is optimized for AX making intelligent
spontaneous decisions to schedule data trafc to maximize WiFi bandwidth utilization.
