Netgear draws a bead on gamers with its Nighthawk X4 Wi-Fi router

Netgear is targeting hardcore gamers with its latest Nighthawk X4 Wi-Fi router. The router is packed with technology, including a 1.4-gigahertz dual-core processor that enables it to reach a network speed of 2.33 gigabits per second. That means that you won’t lose a Call of Duty multiplayer match because your router is too slow.

Netgear says gamers will be able to enjoy wired-like Internet connectivity on their wireless devices. San Jose, Calif.-based Netgear is adding the latest Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart WiFi Router to its line-up that includes a more expensive X6 version for families. While the X6 is designed for lots of family users to enjoy the Internet at the same time, the Nighthawk X4 is aimed at gamers who need the fastest possible Internet speeds for games.
