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.

and effectively improve signal strength.
Nighthawk® X10—AD7000 Smart WiFi Router
Enhanced Active Antennas
Each new generation of routers grows more powerful than the last, delivering
stronger WiFi signals with greater range. At the same time, the WiFi signals
on mobile devices are not getting more powerful. This difference in WiFi
performance – a strong WiFi signal from the router and weaker ones from
mobile devices – reduces overall WiFi range and speed.
To meet this challenge, NETGEAR developed the industry’s rst Active
Antennas technology. NETGEAR moved the WiFi ampliers from their usual
location, on the router’s motherboard, up to the top of the antennas.
Active Antennas help improve WiFi performance by amplifying signals in the
antenna itself. Thereby avoiding any signal loss during transmission between
antenna and router board, as well as avoiding any noise insertion from the
router board components. This provides cleaner and stronger receive signals
for amplication from your mobile devices.
In X10, enhanced Active Antennas also amplify the signals as they are sent to
the devices, thereby increasing overall range and throughput.
Weak signal strength
Traditional WiFi router has harder time receiving weaker mobile device signals.
Effective signal strength
Nighthawk X8 Active antennas compensate for weaker mobile device signals

Beamforming+—For More Reliable Connections
Unlike typical WiFi routers that just blast the WiFi signals in all directions, with Beamforming+ the router & device communicate with
each other, so the router can directly beam the WiFi signal to the device. The result is a stronger, faster, more reliable connection that is
locked in even when the device is moved around the home.
• WiFi Signal Focus—Focuses signals from the wireless router to WiFi devices like smartphones, tablets & laptops
• Automatic Signal Management—Checks with your device to keep WiFi signal at its optimal strength
• Device Connections—Designed for home environments to support multiple WiFi device connections for highest quality
• WiFi Coverage—Reduces dead spots, & boosts signal strength
• Implicit & Explicit Beamforming boosts speed, reliability & range for both 2.4 & 5GHz WiFi—an industry rst
