Netgear are bringing their CES Innovation Award-honored Nighthawk X8 Wi-Fi router back with a new model designed for “for families who want to upgrade their DSL subscriber experience with best-in-class technology.”Like the original, this new DSL edition of the Nighthawk X8 WiFi
Router offers the same industry-leading Tri-band, Quad-Stream
performance and powerful 1.4GHz dual core processor, but now with an
embedded DSL modem supporting ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ and VDSL/VDSL2 speeds.
It’s unique two-in-one design combines the WiFi Router and VDSL modem
in a single unit reducing wiring hassles and with a smaller footprint
so it can better blend into your home. Meanwhile, a Gigabit ethernet WAN
port ensures seamless compatibility with cable and fiber modems.
According to Sandeep Harpalani, senior director of Netgear product

giving your internet service a performance boost. This best-in-class
modem router combines the best DSL technology with the tri-band Quad
stream, which is indispensable when multiple household members are
streaming HD content or playing online games simultaneously.”
“The Nighthawk X8 opens the bandwidth floodgates, with up to four
data streams on each of the three WiFi bands, so that everyone in your
home can happily stream, game, surf, and share HD media, without
noticing a blip in performance.”
