Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 Router Overview
The Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 is a one of the most powerful routers on the market. Tri-Band WiFi connects all devices in your home over an incredibly quick network. The high-capacity of this router means you can connect many devices - laptops, phones, tablets, TVs, and games console - all without losing speed where lower performance routers would slow down due to the number of simultaneous connections.
The R8000 can provide speeds of up to 3.2Gbps over its 3 Wifi bands - one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz, and creates a strong enough signal through its SIX high performance antennas to achieve top performance in very large houses.
It features a 1GHz dual core process is complimented by three offload processors to guarantee an uninterrupted connection whether streaming HD video, transferring files to/ from a NAS, or gaming. This powerful processor means lightning fast speeds both wireless and wired. The USB 3.0 port offers incredibly fast storage access.
A Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 from Sabai Technology comes preinstalled with the latest iteration of Sabai OS, the perfect companion to this awesome router. We designed Sabai OS to work perfectly with VPNs so you can connect all your devices securely, without the worry of anyone snooping on your connection.
What’s more, you can connect to servers in another country to mask your location and gain access to content that’s not available in your area. Using Gateways technology exclusive to Sabai OS, you can even select which devices connect to your local internet, and which to the VPN, giving you total control over your IP location and privacy.
Not only is Sabai OS incredibly powerful, with many added features that would require expert knowledge in router software to set up yourself, it’s also very easy to use. With our simple user interface, you don’t need to be a networking pro to get the full benefits of using Sabai OS on the Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000.

Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 VPN Router Setup
Sabai VPN routers are built for people who want a secure VPN router, with many extra features, but don’t necessarily have the knowledge or time to set it up themselves. Our routers are simple set up even for people who have only ever used the off-the-shelf router that came from the ISP.
We are committed to making sure all our customers are happy they purchased from us, which is why we offer free technical support with all our routers.

Gateways
Sabai Technology’s exclusive Gateways technology allows you to designate whether any device on the network should connect through your local IP OR through the VPN connection. This makes it possible to connect to two different locations simultaneously. Add to this a VPN Accelerator, and you even have the option to boost the VPN speed for any device you choose.
This technology means you can connect different devices to your Netgear R8000 and have total control over which network they connect to. You could be watching the British Netflix catalog whilst gaming from a U.S. connection. Gateways are easy to set up so you can always connect the same way with each device, or simply change the settings from within the interface.
Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 optimized by Sabai OS
A Sabai Netgear X6 R8000 looks exactly the same as the stock router, but the difference in performance is profound. Sabai OS is designed to run perfectly with a VPN, giving you peace of mind that no one can intercept your connection. We also pack in many other features to make the router simply run better than on stock firmware.
A normal VPN setup means installing VPN software on your laptop and having the connection only for that device. Some VPN providers allow you to connect several devices at once, but usually only two or maybe three. With a VPN router, all your devices can connect to the VPN simultaneously because they all run through the routers VPN connection.
The Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 powered by Sabai OS is the VPN router that bridges the gap between privacy and performance.
