Netgear has launched the Nighthawk X4S AC3200 Wi-Fi cable modem router (C7800), which supports DOCSIS 3.1 technology to deliver Gigabit internet download speeds and high speed Wi-Fi services. DOCSIS 3.1 cable internet service is a major development in the evolution of ultra high speed broadband compared to the existing infrastructure. This technology makes it possible to get ultra-fast gigabit internet speeds through the existing coaxial cable connection. DOCSIS 3.1 rivals the speed of fibre internet connections and provides the required speeds for a number of connected devices used in households. According to the company, the Nighthawk X4S delivers the fastest cable broadband speeds and provides all the benefits expected from a dual-band wireless router.
Some of its key benefits are as follows:
