Festival focus Stylish capital ideas for uplifting interior designs Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500

An advanced internet router from Netgear. With the increasing influence of streaming entertainment on our lives it’s never been more important to use your bandwidth efficiently. Ask any gamer to name their number one system gripe and they will complain about their bandwidth. Netgear has introduced the Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 to reduce bandwidth bottlenecks and enhance online experiences.

The most impressive aspect and undoubtedly its biggest selling point is the DumaOS software which controls your home network and turns any compatible router into an infrastructure management system. The key benefit of this software is the inclusion of geo-filtering, which allows you to set the maximum distance between you and a relevant server. This reduces lag and the connection time of the service you are using. The software also allows you to prioritise devices and services running on your network to eliminate congestion by issuing more resources to them.

A built-in network monitor displays real-time statistics on the gadgets that are connected and what impact they are having. This enables you to block unwanted devices and software providing greater security and maintains a stable connection.

A lack of broadband modem capabilities means that ADSL customers such as BT’s will need to keep their existing router in place, which is an unwanted layer between you and the internet.

Anyone who desires the maximum quality level when playing games or watching streaming services online.

Your internet usage consists of web browsing and the occasional file download.
