THE NIGHTHAWK X6 R8000

The plastic enclosure of the NightHawk X6 R8000 weighs 1.1kg and measures 295.5mm in width, 226,8 in depth and 54.5mm in height.

Just like the R7000 the R8000 is quite think and does resemble a stealth fighter or ship.

Netgear has placed a total of 13 activity LEDs at the top along with 2 buttons from which you can enable/disable WiFi and enable/disable WPS.

Unlike most other routers in the market that come with separate Antennas the 6 high gain ones the R8000 has are hardwired into the chassis and extend as seen above.

You can change their orientation even further but that's more of a design thing and doesn't change anything.

Moving at the rear we find an USB 2.0 port, on/off LED switch, 4 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, WAN port, USB 3.0 port, reset button, DC in and the on/off switch.

You can mount the NightHawk X6 R8000 onto a wall since at the base it has 2 such holes (aside the 4 rubber feet).
