Internet friends

There’s a badass new router in town, and it’s called the Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 ($599). It’s appropriate that this makes it sound a bit like a superhero, because Netgear’s new device wll perform heroic feats with your internet connection. It uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard to provide four times increased data capacity, meaning it can handle more devices at once, easily power your smart home, and deliver smooth 4K UHD streaming and gaming with blazing-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 10.8Gbps. Its tri-band functionality also offers two separate streams of data transfers in the 5GHz band to ensure top-notch performance for all high-high-bandwidth applications and downloads. Two Gigabit LAN ports, two Gigabit WAN ports, and eight high-performance antennas will also help deliver reliable coverage at long-range distances. Who said you couldn’t love a router?

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
