Today, we introduce to you is a "Nighthawk" wireless router R7000 from the United States NETGEAR (Netmesh). When we think of the Nighthawk, we will think of it as the soul of the night, its speed, speed, freedom, and flexibility. The R7000 wireless router is the flagship wireless router launched by GigaByte. What is it magical about it? First of all, we first look at it from its cool exterior.
About the "Nighthawk" NETGEAR R7000 Router

NETGEAR, Inc., the world's leading provider of enterprise network solutions, has won the CES Innovation Award for the new Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wireless Network Router (R7000), and now has new features that match airtime and Wave beaming technology has the ability to allow you to better experience the game, streaming and web browsing. These two new features can already be downloaded for free on the technical support page of the NETGEAR company website.



NETGEAR R7000 looks domineering side exposed, "nighthawk" name coupled with this cool full appearance like a stealth fighter. R7000 body with a matte surface, very texture. The three detachable high-gain antennas use paddle-type design, which makes the router and the movie Wolverine's claws very similar.



Netgear R7000 adopts Broadcom BCM4709A dual-core processor supporting 1GHz frequency, equipped with 256MB of memory and 128MB of flash memory, which provides a solid hardware platform for strong routing performance and wider application development space.



On the interface, Nighthawk is equipped with five 1000Mbps wired network interfaces, which can provide fast and stable wired network support for IPTV, XBOX and other devices. The five network ports are designed to be shielded and suitable for use with shielded wires in strong interference.






, The nighthawk's indicator In order to facilitate the user to understand the status of the router, set up a number of module prompts. It is worth mentioning that there are wireless switch buttons and WPS buttons on the keys. At the same time, in order to facilitate the user to save energy, R7000 is also designed with a power switch.






Bottom large area heat sink


The R7000 has a large number of lattice cooling holes on the sides and bottom of the fuselage to increase the cooling efficiency and ensure the long-term stable operation of the router. The bottom nameplate has the router's initial password, serial number, and other information.

Nighthawk wireless routing R7000 connection setup method and performance

After introducing the appearance and configuration, I think everyone is eager to know how to install this big guy. First we need to connect the router to the power supply and install the antenna and cable. After everything is ready, turn on the Nighthawk router's power, the connected computer will pop up the NETGEAR wizard wizard, and then follow the prompts to gradually complete the set up connection, the operation is very simple, we do not have to worry about this point.



After the connection is complete, we first confirm whether the network cable is in the four LAN ports of the router. In the view, whether the route power indicator is steady white (if there is a red lamp, the connection is not completed). Before you remember to install the router, you will find that the computer has a static IP address, but now this situation is relatively rare, if it is static we set to automatically obtain the IP address on it.

Successful match, connect to internet





When everything is ready, we type in the computer that is connected to the router. At this point, the dialog box that pops up, we use admin, and then enter the password password (note that all letters need to be lowercase).



From what we can see, the connection status of the Internet, the model number of the wireless router, the connected device, parental controls (so-called child lock function) and USB read status, as well as visitor details.



In the Internet options, you can view the account name, domain name, and settings for dynamic and static IP addresses.



Among the wireless options, the most important thing for us is to modify our own password. From the above red arrow, you can see the security options. In the bottom we can change our own password. If you don't want to lose your password, then you can choose to have no choice (but normally it is not recommended).



From here, you can see information such as IP address, device number, and device name. In addition, the parental control does not introduce much, and opening the parental control will pop up a new window. If there is a need, you can choose to download the software in the web page to set it.



If you are on the Nighthawk route 2.0 3.0 USB interface, plug in any U disk or read device, from the easy to share place can be displayed.



Well, after we have explored the NETGEAR software and set the password setting, we will use the actual environment to speed the strong signal of this route.

How is the "nighthawk" R7000 actual combat effect?

As the flagship wireless router of NETGEAR, the "Nighthawk" R7000 is equipped with three external high-gain antennas, and an enhanced version of the "Beanforming+" antenna technology, which makes the coverage of dual-band wireless signals even wider. Broad, effectively improving its wireless mid-range performance. Next, we started the actual combat. From the figure below, we can see that the test area is relatively empty. It needs to be explained that the company's internal network node fluctuates greatly, and there are many obstacles blocking the debris, but the test results Still more satisfactory.



Actual speed distance during work


In testing the usage distance of WIFI speed, we are testing under the office environment. The distance at point A is the nearest 3 meters, the distance at point B is 5 meters, and the distance at point C is 10 meters.

The following is the test result of 2.4GHz band

10 meters distance test result 53%

In the 2.4 GHz signal strength measurement, the performance of the NETGEAR R7000 is quite strong. In the test we see that the best signal strength is 78%, and the signal coverage is still good. The signals at points B and C are 61% and 53% respectively. After crossing several obstacles, although there is a certain influence, the nighthawk has a very wide coverage of wireless signals.

The following is the test result of 5GHz band


In the 5GHz signal strength test, the highest signal strength reached 98%. At a distance of 5 meters, point B also reached a signal intensity of 60%. At point C, the signal coverage of 47% was also good. Compared to the 2.4 GHz band signal strength, the 5 GHz signal strength is obviously higher. Actually, through this distance measurement, if we use various smart connection devices in our 6,70-flat home, the night eagle's signal coverage distance and intensity It is absolutely guaranteed.

At the end of the article, we introduced the appearance configuration to us before, and then introduced the installation process like a rake, and tested the signal strength of this Netgear R7000 wireless router. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of this router, strong configuration is the highlight of this wireless router. This Nighthawk R7000 wireless router is slightly larger, suitable for watching high-definition movies and playing games at home through a notebook, as well as the mobile phone tablet.
