Tech Nice List: NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Router Review
Disclaimer: I am a 
and I received this product in exchange for my honest, unbiased opinion and review.
Over the years our use of devices has naturally doubled, since the kids are growing and using the computer for their homework, streaming Netflix and reading books on their tablets. Plus our mobile use and both our business computers, the amount of usage has defiantly risen over the last few years.
When I was asked to review the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Router my hubby was doing the (I call it the) happy dance (he says that’s not manly). This mean looking piece of technology is drool worthy for any technical geek. He doesn’t agree with me but I sure have noticed his technical geek side evolve over the years. He was all over setting the Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Router up as soon as it arrived.
Connecting the Internet to Everything
The NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Router has breakthrough Tri-Band WiFi technology that was built to connect to each and every device in your home—automatically and simultaneously. Such as; laptops, tablets, phones, TVs, game consoles, music streamers, cameras – if it’s WiFi enabled, its X6 accelerated. With a massive combined wireless speed of up to 3.2Gbps, 3 WiFi bands and Smart Connect intelligence, every device is assigned the fastest WiFi connection possible and optimized for maximum speed.
NETGEAR genie® App
Hook up did take the evening to complete, but with the NETGEAR genie® App installed it walked you through the steps in a user friendly mode. This personal dashboard is used to monitor, control and repair your home network from a smartphone, tablet or computer. It was easy to create a guest network for when company arrives, plus adding passwords to each band was made simple with a few clicks.

ReadySHARE® USB
There is not a feature that hubby didn’t rave about on the Nighthawk however the one that tops the list is the ReadySHARE® USB. He quickly connected our one terabyte hard drive right to our new Nighthawk network. Spontaneous every device using the Nighthawk could connect to share files between the different devices. This is brilliant. You can play, view, listen to, and share your videos, photos, and music on connected TVs, game consoles, or media players throughout the network. For the most part I work off my laptop but have three other computers in the house sometimes we need access to the hub computer and this saves me carrying over a USB stick to do a transfer. In other words it allows me to be more efficient with my time.
Nightlight
This sleek and sexy, drool worthy piece of technology actually takes the ugly out of our ugly corner filled with wires. The lights that look like a runway can be turned off if you prefer them that way but for us it works are a great nightlight for the kids in the hub of the home.
We would recommend the Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band WiFi Router to any household that is busy connecting multiple devices. When the kids get older you can also block any devices from the network if those hard learned lessons need to be enforced. Once the Nighthawk is set up, using the NETGEAR genie® App you can control every device on the network from your phone. When things are all in one place it just makes life that much easier.
Got a techy geek on your nice list? I am confident you will have him drooling over the specs on this router.
