Switch it up and go Faster! Win a Nighthawk S8000 Switch
Ever wonder why even with awesome broadband your 4K YouTube videos can stutter? Or that sudden lag spike earns the other team a win?

With the Nighthawk s8000 I will use it as a dedicated switch for my currently connected SCOUT Home Security, Phillip Hue bridge, and XBox One which is currently connected to my R7500v2 Router. With it I plan to utilize the advanced security and bandwidth limiting features to improve stabilty, throughput, and managablity.
I would love this. If I am lucky enough to actually win it I would be interested to see if it can really do all it claims, and I would hook it up in the center of the house. I have 2 autistic sons aged 8y & 7y and they recently were awarded kindlefires for their communication skills but instead my 8yo streams his favorite shows all day and my 7y is stuck on angry birds but has learned how to access the instructional how-to video channels and youtube cartoons and uses it to get unstuck or take a break from the game if frustrated. Between both boys streaming consistantly and my own use of streaming through Amazon, since we dont have cable, plus a UPnP video surveillence camera that muststay on while theyre respite is here. At any given time 55 pages/apps can be opened between the three of us and I cant afford a new NetGear wireless router so there are times when it seems to freeze from streaming overload and shuts down the connection. It would be great to have one of those Nighthawks just to be able to watch an entire show through to the end instead of it skipping or getting stuck.
