The Nighthawk packaging shows how the three-unit configuration can help extend your wireless network by daisy-chaining the three devices, although we didn't find our sample set itself up in this way.

Inside is the usual array of power adapters for each unit, which only come with UK plugs, plus an Ethernet cable.

NETGEAR is making it clear this is a WiFi 6 setup.

The Nighthawk units are small and squat, with textured tops. They would be unobtrusive if they weren't so shiny. But the small size still means you'll be able to stow them around your house and they won't attract much attention.

The router and satellites are slightly different in terms of port allocation, with the router having Gigabit Ethernet for WAN as well as for a client device. Both have a Sync button to help you connect a new satellite, although the three-pack comes pre-paired. Strangely, there's no power button. And no USB connection for attaching a printer or storage for network sharing.

Overall, these are small units clearly intended not to take up much space when dotted in optimal locations in your home, but with minimal physical features.
