NETGEAR - Nighthawk MK63 2019

Designers: Joseph Choi, Ed Kalubiran, Netgear, San Jose, California, USA
Manufacturer: Netgear, Inc., San Jose, California, USA


MK63 Nighthawk MK6 by NETGEAR has a dramatic dimensional pattern on the top surface that allows for ventilation while elegantly keeping the vent hidden from the users' view.

Satellites simply require a single cord, ensuring easy cord management, allowing the product to be placed anywhere in the home. The antenna, WPS button, and internal structure are contained within a single part for efficient assembly. Plastic parts are made using a rapid heating and cooling method (RHCM) to provide the best appearance across the finish of the part. Straight sides with no draft on the outer surface lend to a clean, rectilinear design that provides a premium appearance. The product smartly hides all assembly screws within design features, ensuring a beautifully unobstructed outward appearance.

The system is thoughtfully designed by the internal design team at NETGEAR; the design language delivers a powerful yet restrained appearance. Reflective polished sides are contrasted against the matte texture of the pattern across the top. A subtle light pipe lights in multiple colors to signify the products working status.

Minimal graphics clearly signify the function of the ports on the back of the product. The product is subtly branded with a crisp metallic Nighthawk logo centered on the front.
