Nighthawk® AC1900 Smart WiFi Router—Dual Band Gigabit
Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO)
Traditional WiFi routers can stream data to only one device in the home at a time. When multiple devices are connected to the router,
each device needs to take its turn, and then wait before receiving more data. This can lead to slower network and Internet speeds.
Using Multi-user MIMO technology, NETGEAR routers can stream data to multiple devices simultaneously. With MU-MIMO, your WiFi
network can deliver faster throughput to every MU-MIMO connected device. That means faster downloads and smoother streaming
for your devices.
Enjoy simultaneous streaming with MU-MIMO
