Nighthawk EX7700 WiFi Mesh Extender Wins Prestigious iF DESIGN Award for 2019

NETGEAR is proud to be recognized with a 2019 iF DESIGN AWARD for our Nighthawk EX7700 WiFi Mesh Extender! The Nighthawk X6 Tri-band WiFi Mesh Extender won over the 67-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with the product’s capability to provide powerful whole home WiFi by extending the range of your existing router using NETGEAR patented Fastlane3 technology.

 

“NETGEAR is thrilled to again be recognized by the iF Excellence in Design panel of judges,” said John Ramones senior director of product design and user experience at NETGEAR. “We strive to make our products elegant and engaging while delivering the highest network performance.  NETGEAR was the first company to introduce the network extender to the industry and has since developed the Orbi Wi-Fi mesh system. With the Nighthawk X6 Tri-band Mesh Extender, we have married what was learned with Orbi and have delivered it in a package that will work within any network.”

      Extenders are compatible with modems with built in wifi or stand alone routers with WiFI. 

      What MFr and model# ISP modem/router do you have?

       

      What is your ISP speed UP and down that you pay for. 5k isn't a speed.

        I tested the isp speed and it says 67.7 mbps download and 69.7 mbps upload. My modem is from Frontier not sure what you would need from there.
