The Nighthawk X4 includes an Ethernet port that allows you to use a network cable to connect a smart TV, game console, or anything else requiring a wired connection.

If you have any devices that don’t have Wi-Fi, this extender has you covered there as well. It doesn’t have an outlet pass-through, so it does take up one outlet, but it leaves the other free. It's designed to plug directly into a wall socket, and it supports WPS push-button setup, which makes it really easy to set up and use. Realistically, your internet connection won't be this fast, but if you pay extra for a super fast connection, it's worth bearing in mind this unit will support it. The AC2200 part of the name means it can deliver 2.2Gbps of bandwidth at once ( we've got an explanation of what that actually means here), which is enough to stream Netflix in 4K, video chat on FaceTime, and maintain a competitive edge in online games, on several devices all at once. It’s also able to handle a lot of devices at once. This extender has a range of up to 2,000 square feet, which makes it great for extending a network to a different floor or the distant corners of a large home. This is our favorite Wi-Fi extender because it provides excellent performance and coverage for a decent price, and it isn’t too difficult to set up. If you’re happy with the overall performance of your router and just want better Wi-Fi coverage, the Netgear Nighthawk X4 will get the job done.
