The NETGEAR Nighthawk MK73S is a whole-home WiFi 6 mesh system that includes one Nighthawk MR70 mesh router and two MS70 satellite extenders, delivering seamless wireless coverage across up to 4,500 square feet — including front and back yards. Using the latest 802.11ax (WiFi 6) technology, the system achieves combined AX3000 speeds of up to 3 Gbps (600 + 2,400 Mbps) across simultaneous dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), with 1024-QAM support and 160 MHz channels that provide up to 2x faster speeds for compatible PCs and Android devices compared to standard AC routers.

Each unit is powered by a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor with 256 MB Flash and 512 MB RAM, and features four high-performance internal antennas. The router includes one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and one Gigabit Ethernet LAN port. WiFi 6 technology delivers up to 4x more network capacity, enabling reliable connectivity for 25 or more devices simultaneously, making it ideal for 4K UHD streaming, lag-free gaming, and video conferencing throughout the home.

Setup takes just minutes using the free Nighthawk App (iOS and Android), which also provides remote network management, speed testing, and connected device monitoring. The system uses a single WiFi name and password for seamless room-to-room roaming. A Guest WiFi network is easy to configure for secure visitor access. Network security is provided via 802.11i standard with 128-bit AES encryption.

The purchase includes a free one-year subscription to NETGEAR Armor (powered by Bitdefender), which provides automatic cybersecurity protection across every connected device on the network. NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls are also included, with free basic features and optional premium subscription for advanced management. The box contains one MR70 router, two MS70 satellites, one 2-meter Ethernet cable, three 12V/1.5A power adapters, and a quick start guide.
