Once seen, there's no mistaking Netgear's latest flagship statement from the world of wireless routers . The R7000 – also known as the Nighthawk – is boldly styled after the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth strike figher, both dark and angular slabs with...

Netgear was one of the first companies to launch a draft 802.11ac wireless router in 2012, with the well-regarded R6300. Almost two years later, the fledgling Wi-Fi technology has only inched along but Netgear's statement in noir seems to make good use of...

The Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is a router that squeezes as much as possible onto the specification list. With a reasonably high price of £165 (US$184, AU$255), it's a high-end model, and it comes with a 1GHz dual-core processor. It supports triple-stream 80...

Sleek and stealthy design, Brilliant performance, Dual USB ports, Comprehensive parental controls...

Dated interface, Pricey...

Although the R7000 is fast, it costs around the same amount as the Linksys EA6900 and the Asus RT-AC68U. Their routers don't look as good, but have much better software. Therefore my preference edges across to them slightly. But the R7000 is still a fine...

If A-List awards were handed out on looks alone, the amusingly named Netgear Nighthawk would have things sewn up before we'd even taken it out of the box. Its flat, angled sides, shark-like nose and tail fin-shaped antennae make it look like something out...

It’s not often we see a router that’s as exciting to look at as its specification, but the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is one such device. As implied by its name, the R7000 Nighthawk takes its styling inspiration from the F-117 Nighthawk stealth plane, even d...

Netgear's Nighthawk router offers an impressive array of features and, most importantly, it serves up very quick 802.11ac speeds. It wasn't great in our long-range tests, though. Nevertheless, consider picking it up if you're in the process of implementin...

What is the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk? This is Netgear's long awaited ‘AC1900 Wi-Fi' rival to current top dogs the Linksys EA6900 and Asus RT-AC68U . We say "long awaited" because this sassily named router actually launched at the same time as its rivals in...

The Netgear R7000 Nighthawk has the fastest peak throughput of any router we've ever tested and its USB performance blows even its AC1900 rivals away. However its key rivals, the Linksys EA6900 and Asus RT-AC68U, have the R7000's number at range in two ou...

In both areas, the R7000 doesn't disappoint. This is a very quick unit – the first we've tested to use Broadcom's new dual-core 1GHz processor – with copy speeds topping anything else we've seen at 321Mbps transmit and 259Mbps receive speeds. The Linksys...

With a healthy mix of high speed and useful, intelligent features, the R7000 is perfect for networking enthusiasts...

The first 802.11ac router we tested was the Netgear R6300, back in the summer of 2012, but it has been relatively quiet at Netgear regarding 802.11ac since then. Although new models appeared with the R6200 and R6250, these were positioned lower than the...

As far as we're concerned, if we put everything together, Netgear provides one of the better routers currently available with the R7000 Nighthawk. It especially performs exceptionally well on 802.11ac and when under heavy loads, The other tests show it...

You need that beefy ARM processor to power simultaneous 5GHz 802.11ac and 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless connections along with Gigabit LAN and WAN wired Ethernet. The specification puts the Nighthawk R7000 at the high end of the market so it is fairly predictab...

High 802.11ac transfer speeds, Simultaneous 5GHz2.4GHz, Easy setup, USB 3.0 port for addin storage, USB 2.0 printer support, Impressive QoS options for consumer market, Decent setup software with heaps of options, Weird and wonderful styling (if you like...

Expensive, Poor 2.4GHz 802.11n performance, mainly because of the tiny A6100 USB adapter, Takes a while to save changes in setup, Limited appeal for professional market, Weird and wonderful styling (if you have conventional tastes).

The real world tests used in this review deliver results that fall short of the manufacturer's claims, however the bandwidth with a Mac Pro 2013 was very good. On our PC, the Netgear A6100 USB adapter undoubtedly plays its part with the slightly disappoin...

We only have a could of gripes with this one, really: the front-mounted USB 3.0 port isn't ideal if you want to keep a drive permanently attached and its 2.4GHz speeds, while adequate, were outdone by many others in this category. Those drawbacks aside th...
