Nighthawk X10 10gb connection
hello ! i was wondering if i run a SFP+ cable from my computer to the nighthawk x10 will i be able to access the internet though it? as well as access my usb drive? any help would be great !!!! than...

I don't plan to nor am I trying to get 10 gigabytes over the internet I just want to be able to have the best connection to my USB storage device as well as have a connection to the internet. When I'm transferring 10 or 12 movies from my main Drive to my USB external drive that's connected via USB 3.0 I'm only getting about 50 or 60 megabytes per second transfer rate from my main computer to the drive with the 10 gigabit connection I should be able to maximize the USB 3.0 skip abilities with the way my way to set up and guess between 120 and 240 megabytes per second give or take.FWIW, smallnetbuilder.com was only able to get 103.7 megabytes per second out of the USB 3.0 port (link). Even a Gigabit port can handle that.

While perfectly workable, I don't see the XS708Ev2/XS716 as a complimentary switch - wrong format, fan, not sexy, ... - to match the R9000.
I guess you are hoping for a 10Gbase-T nighthawk switch then.
That I would like plus 10 giga speeds on the wifi as long your putting a dream list together I know there are no wifi devices in use today in the home that supports 10 giga connections but as long it is a possible dream feature list for a super router for the future the sky is the limit it will be interesting to see what real world version will bring to a supper router.

The IEEE is on it. 802.11ax is in the works, and the goal is 5x the speed of 802.11ac. Probably not until 2019 or so though.
That's not 10 gpbs (except perhaps in labs), but it is still an impressive jump. Prices have to come way down on the 10 gbps wired side though.

Good luck with ten, hunderd or more neighbours and probaly some public hotspots all (ab-)using eight time 20 MHz channels to form the 160 MHz band required - depending on the regulatory are, there are just about _two_ such blocks available in the 5 GHz band and not even one in 2.4 GHz. And all sharing the same single media.
All the numbers we read in marekting and most device specs are just dreams. This won't change much in 2019.The Nighthawk X10 introduced (along with a competitor) the 802.11ad, able to provide multi-GbE bandwdth on the much less congested shot range 60 GHz band. And different from 802.11ac where most commodity clients use 2*2 on 866 MHz bandwith only, aside of a exception from Cuppertino.
Mid term, the true critical point in 802.11ac is not blinding I-want-it-all sinlge uer, sinlge thread throughpout - instead, much more must be done in the MU-MIMO area, allowing a smooth co-operation with different clients, and with the wireless neighbours.
If you want performance on longer range, there is no way aorund wired connecitons. True 10 GbE is here, 40 GbE is becoming affordable. Non-congested bandwidth of course.

And yes - full reach 10 GbE (and 40 GbE) on copper has an impact on power usage. That's why we don't see notebooks with these interfaces yet. Probably room for the existing 2.5/5 GbE standard? Time will show.Lock back when the first GbE interfaces became availbale on higher end consumer/SOHO routers/CPEs, and how long it took to have 1 GbE switches in the commodity router/CPE/switch market. Same for low-power, low-cost clients which still come with FE only. It's no that long ago, Stephen...
I see optics as possible answer to the power requirements an optic can 10 to 40 giga speeds without any problems they have been used by electronics in the for years on flat sreen tv's,computers some times have a optic port and other electronics in use today to interconnect different devices as a replacement to copper cat 6 and cat 7 cable. I believe that it is possible for netgear to make a router/modem devicewith a phone over the internet that links by a optic cable to replace the isp units with out a ont.
