- Supports ReadyCloud, which allows you to access your USB storage device from anywhere.
- Supports genie remote, which allows you to manage your home network remotely using NETGEAR genie.
- Supports the Kwilt iOS photo manager app, which can be used to view and share photos stored on the USB drive connected to the R7800, as well as from other sources like DropBox, OneDrive, Facebook etc.

- Sends log reports via SSL email, which allows email notification to be setup on your Nighthawk router.
- Supports WiFi Transmit Power Control, which reduces WiFi power to just cover your home network and reduces WiFi interference in the neighborhood.
