Data Sheet R7960PNighthawk X6S AC3600 Tri-Band WiFi RouterMulti-user MIMO (MU-MIMO)Traditional WiFi routers can stream data to only one device in the home at a time. When multiple devices are connected to the router,each device needs to take its turn, and then wait before receiving more data. This can lead to slower network and Internet speeds.Using Multi-user MIMO technology, NETGEAR routers can stream data to multiple devices simultaneously. With MU-MIMO, your WiFinetwork can deliver faster throughput to every MU-MIMO connected device. That means faster downloads and smoother streamingfor your devices.Enjoy simultaneous streaming with MU-MIMOData sent to one device at a timeTraditional WiFiData sent to multiple devices simultaneouslyMU-MIMO WiFiPAGE 10 of 12
