For the second consecutive year, NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the
leading provider of networking devices that power today’s smart
home, has secured the top spot for routers in the
2017
European Hardware Awards. The Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart
WiFi Router (R9000) was named Best Router in this annual
competition to honor exceptional hardware sold in the European
Union. Nighthawk X10 debuted on the market last autumn as the
industry’s first — and fastest — router for media streaming and
instant backup.

The European Hardware Awards is created by the
European Hardware Association (EHA). Votes were tallied from more
than 100 experienced editors from EHA member publications
representing the largest technology news and reviews sites in
Europe: Hardware.Info (Benelux region), CowCotLand (France),
Hardwareluxx (Germany), Hardware Upgrade (Italy), PurePC (Poland),

Today’s video files are getting larger with 4K and
VR video. Offloading from capture devices and moving these large
files within a network often becomes a time-consuming and
challenging task. The NETGEAR Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi Router is
powerful enough to move these files at unprecedented speed and
provides easy access once the file is stored on the network. It
offers ultra-smooth 4K streaming, even to remote devices, and is
the industry’s first router to run Plex Media Server without the
need for a computer.
Nighthawk X10 combines a powerful 1.7GHz Quad Core
processor — the fastest processor in a home router — and
Quad-Stream Wave 2 WiFi architecture plus next-generation high
speed 802.11ad WiFi, so you can enjoy blazing-fast combined
wireless speeds up to a furious 7.2Gbps*. The latest MU-MIMO
technology supports simultaneous streaming, while 160MHz doubles
WiFi speeds to mobile devices. Nighthawk X10 is also the industry’s
first router designed for the home market that includes a 10Gigabit
port for supporting a fiber connection.
“We are honored to have a Nighthawk router selected
as the Best Router in the European market two years in a row! Last
year it was Nighthawk X6 and now Nighthawk X10,” said David Henry,
senior vice president of Connected Home for NETGEAR. “We design all
NETGEAR products not only to meet but to surpass the highest
performance standards, and we strive to deliver the newest
technology innovations. We know Nighthawk X10 to be the industry’s
best, so it’s extremely rewarding to have it confirmed by
technology experts in continent-wide voting.”
