The Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Smart WiFi Router with four high-performance antennas and quad-stream X4S architecture
combines four WiFi streams to deliver WiFi connection speeds of up to 1.73 Gbps, and a combined speed of 2.53 Gbps:
•
800 Mbps WiFi speed on the 2.4 GHz band
•
1.73 Gbps on the 5 GHz band
•
Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) for faster speeds with simultaneously streamed data for up to three devices
•
160 MHz bandwidth support for maximum performance for mobile devices
Nighthawk X4S is ideal for homes with a high volume of network and Internet traffic from gaming and streaming. With
dynamic QoS, the router optimizes performance based on the application and the device, and automatically performs
cloud updates to optimize the most popular applications and services.

3.0 ports (10 times faster than USB 2.0) and an eSATA port. Sharing content across your network is easy, from accessing
stored photos and music to printing wirelessly. Stream your stored media files on any device anywhere on the network.
Share your music with AirPlay-compatible devices from a USB hard drive connected to the router. Use the free NETGEAR
ReadySHARE Vault app to back up your Windows computers to a USB hard drive connected to Nighthawk X4S.
