NETGEAR, Inc the leading provider of award-winning connected products designed to simplify and improve people's lives, today raised the bar once again by supporting the new 6 GHz band for client devices on its Nighthawk M6 mobile hotspot routers. The ultra-fast M6 Pro 5G WiFi 6E Hotspot Router (MR6450) supports 5G internet up to 6 Gbps‡ and WiFi speeds up to 3.6 Gbps. Evolving work and lifestyle changes have spurred the growing need for always-on, secure, high-speed internet connectivity for multiple connected devices anywhere and everywhere. On the road, traveling for business or pleasure, via commercial transport or in a car or RV, WiFi you can trust is imperative. Public WiFi, while convenient, is not secure and not worth risking a critical business transaction or personal bank transfer.

The M6 Pro provides a portable, secure WiFi connection with a built-in firewall for up to 32 devices in any place that has cellular coverage. Travelers and/or mobile workforces can enjoy uninterrupted video streaming, Zoom calls, online games, social media updates and large file uploads/downloads, all at the same time without risk of intrusion. And worldwide roaming support helps them stay connected no matter where they go. Also ideal for home or holiday home use, the M6 Pro can boost WiFi coverage up to 1,000 square feet with In-Home Performance Mode, simply by removing the battery and using the power adapter. In larger homes, the hotspot can be used together with an existing WiFi router by plugging it into the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. For locations where cellular signal is not strong, external antennas (sold separately) can increase 5G reception when plugged into the M6 Pro's antenna ports. The onboard USB-C port can be used to charge devices or as an ultra-fast wired connection, up to 5 Gbps, to a computer or a laptop.

NETGEAR, Inc., the leading provider of award-winning connected products designed to simplify and improve people's lives, today launched a powerful addition to its unlocked 5G mobile hotspot lineup. At a time when access to fast, secure and reliable internet is more important than ever, the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Mobile Hotspot Router (MR6150) raises the mobile broadband experience to new heights by upping the maximum 5G speed that can be supported and adding 160 MHz capability to connect with the latest WiFi 6 client devices.

NETGEAR launched the world's first unlocked 5G hotspot in 2021 with the award-winning Nighthawk M5. Now the company is building on that achievement with the M6, which is 20 percent faster than the M5 at 2.5 Gbps over 5G and has the capacity to hit a maximum combined WiFi speed of up to 3.6 Gbps when connecting to 160 MHz WiFi 6 devices. Additionally, the M6 comes with a first of its kind new In-Home Performance Mode which boosts WiFi coverage up to 2,000 square-feet when the device is plugged in, and the battery is removed.

M6 Pro elevates secure, mobile WiFi as the world's first mobile router to support WiFi 6E. Beginning April 22, AT&T customers will be able to access AT&T's 5G Network using the brand new NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 and Nighthawk M6 Pro mobile hotspots. Harnessing the revolutionary power of 5G, we're collaborating with AT&T again to transform the connected lives of people on the go and at home with excellent engineering and multi-gigabit Internet speeds. As the world continues to explore hybrid and mobile living, coupled with remote work and learning environments, the need for efficient and secure Internet access has become an integral part of daily life. In fact, 10.9 million Americans described themselves as digital nomads in 2020—an almost 50% increase from the previous year-- with another 19 million planning to become one in the next two to three years. Answering this critical demand, we've once again partnered with AT&T to provide two-tiered products in the M6 series, both of which are ideal for mobile or fixed wireless access in the home or office setting, even providing 4G LTE support when 5G is not available.

The best-in-class M6 Pro offers advanced features such as 5G mmWave-Sub-6 dual connectivity, 2.5 G Ethernet port, switchable WiFi 6 and 6E capability, and 8x the capacity and speed of 4G, so users always have the fastest connection no matter where they are. The first mobile hotspot with WiFi 6E, the M6 Pro makes the 6 GHz band available for the newest, fastest connected devices. mmWave will serve users for many years to come, as data usage grows and 5G mmWave becomes more sophisticated. More people and devices can connect simultaneously to enjoy fast downloads, lag-free gaming, 8K streaming, and more throughout the home or office.

"We are extending our 5G leadership beyond the smartphone segment with the T750 chipset, opening up new markets for broadband operators and device makers, and helping consumers - no matter where they live - to experience all the advantages of 5G connectivity."

AMD this Monday in a blog post demystified the boosting algorithm and thermal management of its new Radeon RX 5700 series "Navi" graphics cards. These cards are beginning to be available in custom-designs by AMD's board partners, but were only available as reference-design cards for over a month since their 7th July launch. The thermal management of these cards spooked many early adopters accustomed to seeing temperatures below 85 °C on competing NVIDIA graphics cards, with the Radeon RX 5700 XT posting GPU "hotspot" temperatures well above 100 °C, regularly hitting 110 °C, and sometimes even touching 113 °C with stress-testing application such as Furmark. In its blog post, AMD stated that 110 °C hotspot temperatures under "typical gaming usage" are "expected and within spec."

AMD also elaborated on what constitutes "GPU Hotspot" aka "junction temperature." Apparently, the "Navi 10" GPU is peppered with an array of temperature sensors spread across the die at different physical locations. The maximum temperature reported by any of those sensors becomes the Hotspot. In that sense, Hotspot isn't a fixed location in the GPU. Legacy "GPU temperature" measurements on past generations of AMD GPUs relied on a thermal diode at a fixed location on the GPU die which AMD predicted would become the hottest under load. Over the generations, and starting with "Polaris" and "Vega," AMD leaned toward an approach of picking the hottest temperature value from a network of diodes spread across the GPU, and reporting it as the Hotspot.
