Netgear has added another member to its Nighthawk line of spider-spacecraft-inspired Wi-Fi routers. The Nighthawk X6S (model name R8000P) has tri-band Wi-Fi support with theoretical speeds of up to a combined 4000 Mbps through the air.

The router is built around an unnamed dual-core 64-bit SoC clocked at 1.8 GHz. Netgear doesn't say, but we suspect it's some flavor of the ubiquitous ARM architecture. The company notes that the SoC is backed up by three TCP offload processors, something that may help reduce CPU load during large data transfers. The router has 512 MB of system memory and 128 MB of onboard flash storage. One USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 connector allow for sharing media or files from storage devices connected directly to the router.

oh cool, finally one with aggregation, should have 2.5/5Gbps networking support too though.
