802.11ac WiFi is the New Definition of Speed
At IFA, NETGEAR is highlighting its recently expanded family of next-generation 802.11ac wireless products (www.netgear.com/fastestwifi), which are backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n to provide optimal performance with legacy WiFi devices. The new 802.11ac wireless standard is the world’s fastest WiFi, providing Gigabit WiFi speeds so you can download web content faster and synchronize large video or music files more quickly. The increased speed of 802.11ac technology is ideal for HD streaming to multiple devices, including new or upgraded devices that integrate 802.11ac WiFi support, such as the MacBook Air® and smartphones like the new Samsung Galaxy S®4 and the HTC One®. It provides up to three times the performance of devices using the current 802.11n WiFi standard.
Routers: The R6300 WiFi Router supports approximate combined Gigabit WiFi speeds up to 1750 Mbps* (450 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz 802.11n + 1300 Mbps @ 5 GHz 802.11ac), for people who want the best possible performance in both bands. The R6250 Smart WiFi Router supports approximate combined Gigabit WiFi speeds up to 1600 Mbps* (300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz 802.11n + 1300 Mbps @ 5 GHz 802.11ac), for people who don’t feel the need to have the fastest 802.11n WiFi performance in the 2.4 GHz band. The R6200 WiFi Router supports approximate combined WiFi speeds up to 1167 Mbps* (300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz 802.11n + 867 Mbps @ 5 GHz 802.11ac). A newer version of R6200 and the R6300 (version 2) will be available in Europe this fall with a more powerful and faster 800 MHz processor and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port that is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 interface — already available in the R6250.
The R6300, R6250 and R6200 802.11ac routers also support NETGEAR Beamforming+, which locks onto the location of a wireless device on your network and directs the WiFi signal directly at the device. Wherever you go in your home with your phones, tablets or laptops, the WiFi signal focuses on your location for optimum speed, delivering the experiences you want: fast downloads, clearer voice calls, uninterrupted HD video, and lag-free gaming.
Adapters: The A6200 WiFi USB Adapter is a dual band WiFi adapter that enables you to easily upgrade an existing PC or laptop to 802.11ac performance up to 300/867 Mbps*. The new A6100 WiFi USB Mini Adapter is a small-sized dual band WiFi adapter you can use to upgrade your laptop to 802.11ac performance up to 150/433 Mbps*.
Modem Routers: The D6300 WiFi Modem Router with a built-in ADSL2+ modem creates a high-speed Internet gateway with approximate combined WiFi speeds up to 1600 Mbps*. Advanced features include ReadySHARE® Cloud, which enables remote access to a USB hard drive. The D6200 WiFi Modem Router comes with a built-in ADSL2+ modem and offers approximate combined WiFi speeds up to 1167 Mbps*. The D6300B and D6200B are the first 802.11ac Annex B DSL Gateways available today in Germany.
In addition to offering the ultimate in wireless range and performance, the routers in the NETGEAR 802.11ac family offer many advanced features.
