Excellent
Out of the box, the setup of the RAX80 was very easy with the well designed Netgear Nighthawk iOS app. It immediately configured the network, recognizing all online devices, and with the inexpensive Netgear Armor security (including Bitdefender) I feel at ease knowing that my network is secure. The performance of the RAX80 is excellent, as I have come to expect from Netgear, (this is my 4th Netgear router). I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high quality, reliable router, …very impressive.

Inconsistent speed connection
Great router to manage 25 IOT devices, but needs a feature to detect IOT vs. Streaming. Seems to limit speeds by spreading them out instead of maximizing where it should focus. I.E., TVs, Sonos, LAN connections vs. Lightbulbs, Ring, Assistants.

High Speed easy setup
I’ve gotta say using netgear for a couple years now and I don’t regret it. Getting this newer router that has wifi 6 shoots my speeds up and it’s great for my home layout. Wifi is fast in every room, computer plugged in hardwired to it runs at 370mbps download, so great for gaming at my plan, and the router hasn’t crashed like the ISP provided router. Loving it.

This router is blazing fast I'm so impressed. I never knew that the router provided by spectrum was so inferior until I bought this. Increased my speed up 300m to 940 from the modem whereas the one provided from spectrum only processed at the most 630m out of a gig. Well worth the price. Thanks to the tech that told me to buy a nighthawk!

Worked great for 2 months
We "upgraded" in January to this new, fancy, and expensive router. It was amazing. Everything zipped along so smoothly. Multiple TVs streaming, laptops, Xbox, Alexa, it all worked great. Until March. Since then it's been nothing but connection issues. First the Alexa wouldn't hold a connection for longer than 10 minutes. Now the Xbox is unusable unless we plug it directly into the motem. Yes the firmware has the most recent update. No it isn't our internet provider. Don't buy this unless you want an extremely expensive paperweight.

Worst and most expensive router I've ever owned...
This was my first ever Netgear router I've ever purchased. I'm a programmer/engineer by trade, so I understand these systems well. There has yet to be a solution to the random WIFI drops, the random 5 second internet drops, and the random 2.4 OR 5 ghz signals dropping until a reboot.
On top of that, Netgear decided the top priority was not to fix the current problems, but add a pay feature for "security" where a trial is enabled by default (so you get constant notifications scaring you, but when you look at them their basic things you cannot avoid so it scares people into paying.) on a $400 router that doesn't work consistently.
I had heard good things about their routers and modems (I own one of their gigabit modems), but after this experience, I'm steering away from anything you produce and telling all my friends to do the same.
I truly have no idea how this thing has postive reviews. I have purchased 2 of these. The second since I had issues with the first and thought I had a dud, but clearly I don't. And it blows my mind that it has a positive rating....

Worst router ever
When I first bought the router it was working fine. After a couple months I have had nothing but trouble. The internet is intermittent. It will randomly reset itself to factory settings. The newest issue is it will tell me my password is incorrect. I have wrote to support multiple times and they never respond. This was the most expensive router I have ever purchased, and is by far the worst. The free router that comcast provides is infinitely better and more reliable.The bonus about any other brand is that you can actually get customer service to respond. Avoid at all costs

Amazing speed
I was getting 30 Mbps with my 8 year old Linksys router at an apartment (despite having 100 Mbps speed. I figured it was signal interference. But when I bought a house and got 200 Mbps internet, I was still getting 30 Mbps! I finally caved and bought the Nighthawk. Setup was easy using the app and it was running with the latest firmware in 10 min. Now I'm getting 238 Mbps (yes ,faster than I pay for) everywhere in my 3,000 sq ft house! Amazing. The app is also very well designed and easy to use.

Great upgrade to my ISP router
I had a separate modem and router from my ISP and was disappointed with its performance. It just wasn’t able to handle all my smart devices. I left my modem alone but I replaced my router with the AX8. I have 8 smart devices, 2-5 phones, 2 laptops, 1-2 gaming systems and 1-2 TV’s streaming at any given time and I don’t have anymore connectivity issues. Previously I had to reboot my smart devices multiple times a week along with my router for things to work properly. I have had this for about two weeks now and have not had to reboot one device. The coverage is also amazing all my cameras now have a strong WiFi signal and preform much better. Great product highly recommend!

Great coverage and speed
The initial installation was a bit tricky, took me a good hour to get it working. The problem was that it could´nt connect to the internet, though this problem might be caused by me not waiting long enough before starting with the installation. I followed the app thought.
Upp and running we´re talking blazing speeds in remote areas of the house. With my old router I had a speed of 4 Mbit in the corner of the master bedroom, the Hawk deliver 65 Mbit at the exact same spot!!!
Initially I would say that a rekommendation is in order and I will update this review if I get any reason to.

Not a Techie
I will never claim to be a computer guru. Nursing is my game! However, our Lindsey’s router we had for many years finally pooped out. This household is not a gaming or large downloading one. We do however have a rancher that is long and the router is located on one side of the house in our “frog”. I went out and was convinced at one of the bigger computer stores to buy another brand of router. After taking it home and setting it up, it would disconnect from our phones numerous times within the house to the point that we paid extra on our phone bill because of having to use more data on our plan. I did some more research and came across this AX6000 (RAX80) router. Boy was I surprised at the ease of set up and the coverage area it has provided. I even walked about 300 feet away from the house and was still connected. That says it all for me.

Sleek powerful WiFi solution
Great router, modern sleek looking and very powerful. Perfect solution for home or office. It was more than required for my large 2 bed appartment however I got it as the space was large and walls are concrete. There is 1 small spot in the bedroom corner that it shows lower signal strength but line of site from the router the signal has to pass through 3 concrete walls. I don’t think any single router would solve this. This is an awesome solution for a single router in a medium to large space without having to go implement a mesh network system/

New router
I kept having problems with my old router that was about five years old so it was time to change. After reading a number of reviews I decided on this router. It took about 30 minutes to set up with very few surprises. Because my house is a split level design I have some Orbi range extenders throughout the house. We were able to integrate them into the system with very little problem. So far everything is working fine. I also like the si-fi look to the design.

The AX8 is perfect for my gaming and streaming needs. My Wife and I simultaneously play World of Warcraft and listen to Pandora, and our connection is perfect. We see no screen tears, rubber-banding or glitching of any kind. If you know anything about gaming, you know bandwidth is everything. The AX8 delivers on bandwidth. We stay at 100fps regardless of the activity and we never disconnect due to the router. I recommend this for anyone serious about streaming or gaming simultaneous devices.

The AX8 is an amazing router. I have no coverage issues within my home. The router has two gaming PCs, two macs, two iPhone 11s (taking advantage of AX8 WiFi 6 and countless other devices and I have had no issues with it. I was concerned with the price initially but the performance justifies the initially hesitation. I would strongly recommend for those who have several streaming devices and want to take advantage of WiFi 6 capabilities in your home! Thanks NETGEAR!!

Programming easy, needs stronger signal
The programming with the App using a cell phone was very easy to perform and worked outstanding well. The signal strength though should be stronger I think for such a high priced unit as we keep dropping the 2G outside the back of our house. Streaming to our Roku downstairs from the unit on 5 G is much faster then our older 5G non-NetGear unit

Immediately saw improvements
I have Verizon Fios and have the 1 gigabit speed. I called to Verizon to complain about my internet speed with this covid crisis and working from home for who knows how long I needed something fast and reliable. I have ring cameras, amazon stocks, and up to 50 devices. I did my speed test and was 200mbsp. They offered me a new router for $15/month or $300. I did my research and it was between the orbi or nighthawk. I selected this instead and have been very happy. I don’t need my extenders. My speed is consistently over 850mbsp.

Good throughput
I bought the router to improve the aggregate throughput in my household because we now need to support multiple live video streams at once. The router functions well. I gave it 4 stars because the app suggests that you can name all of the devices that are connected to the router. (For example, you may wan to rename a connection from “input 1” to “Cox”) This feature doesn’t work and continuously produces error messages. Otherwise the router works well.

Disappointment
I bought the AX8 to replace a Netgear 7300 wireless router wanted to upgrade to WIFI 6. The AX8 was a marginal improvement. Due to the COVID-19, there are four people on line taking classes or attending on line meetings. I had the a cable service person evaluate the system. He demonstrated that the AX8 was throttling down the speed by roughly 50%. I replaced the cable modem. Exchanged the AX* for another AX8. The wired throughput is 60% of the modem output and the wireless is 40% of the modems output and that is with only one device connected.

I purchased this to increase capacity of connected devices to the router. My old one was a Netgear Nighthawk R7800 and worked well but having to many devices connected slowed down the speed.

My new RAX80 router does not cover the same as my old Linksys 1900. Will not work with built in apps on the TV at the opposite end of home. Had to purchase a new Roku to get good signal. Signal was great with the older router. I do like the idea of future proofing with WiFi 6, the main reason for purchasing.

FiOS Gigabit
We recently upgraded to FiOS gigabit connection. The speeds are great to the Ethernet cable. However, this device requires a bridge to the old modem if you also have FiOS cable TV service. With that being done, it has essentially chopped my 1000 Mbps into 200 Mbps. Not the fault of the router, just wanted to let all of the FiOS customers out there, what to expect. Might be time to ditch the TV service.

With the old router everyone was fighting with everyone about who’s on the WiFi and if it’s important because it was slow and packed with this new router I can do my school assignments and listen to Pandora music while another family member is playing video games and the other is on Netflix and the other is on YouTube with no interruptions the downloads are faster and so are the uploads it’s made it so much easier.

I have had the RAX80 for about a week. The first day it reset several times disconnecting the wireless signal. After that it seemed to be fine. Easy to set up with the Nighthawk app on my phone. The in-app Speedtest is always slower than using actual Speedtest by Ookla. Currently have around 15 devices connected with no lag so far. Took about 4 hours to download a 75GB game to the Xbox (wirelessly. Works great for streaming to the fire stick. No complaints so far.

Had to get a new router since one of my Google Nest Outdoor Cameras kept getting disconnected from WiFi (my house is made of cement Hardy Plank. This router is a beast. It blasts signal straight through, and I have yet to experience any disconnect on my Nest camera. I have 1 gig download/upload through my ISP, and this router beams the full gig through to all my devices via WiFi at that (5 security cameras, 3 Xbox’s, 2 Apple TV’s, AND more). Definitely worth the upgrade and price.

This was the worst router I have ever used. After only 1 day of used it started connecting and disconnecting. I could reboot it and it would work a few hours. It took me almost 2 hours to connect to tech support even though I registered the router and was supposed to get priority support. I finally just returned the router and went back to my old non Netgear router. No more issues. I wanted to see if Wi-Fi 6 was that much better. I guess Netgear has work to do on their WiFi 6 system.

Great Router!
The router does what it is designed to do. I have not had any complains from anyone. I have not experienced any drop of connection yet. The only issue is the refresh of the list of connected devices that does not work! I say this because I monitor both on the NetGear application and my Fing box. It is sometime frustrating to notice that a simple function like this one would not work. I took time to identify and name all the devices and lost all the information multiple times. I hope they release a firmware or application patch to resolve this issue. Apart from that, it is a solid router!

I expected so much from this product
I bought this RAX80 about 3 months ago.
I have 1 gig plan. From the first day speed coming out of modem is fine about 940 mbps. From the router, only when you restart you might get 250 -300 max if you are sitting right beside it. And on my phone it varies from 3-70 mbps. Even the browser take almost a minute to load sometimes. I called them when I bought it like couple of time. Am tierd of calling them . There is no use . They will tell us to restart change couple of settings and that’s about it. You might get a bit speed for a time and later it will go down. I spend abou 399 for this product and this is what we get. It’s an absolute waste.
Note: I checked it with my carrier as netgear asociate advices me. The came in and checked everything and the modem is getting almost 940 mbps.

Way Better Coverage and Speed than old router
This router is way better than my old router. It finally allows my Wifi to be at the speed of my cable internet and covers the entire house, which was not even possible with my old router plus an extender. signal is stable and lag is nonexistent. The only bad thing is the smart connect which causes devices to lose Wifi when it switches.

Replaced a budget brand AX router that could not handle multiple streams. The other router would freeze and crash about 5or 6 times a day. I remedied this by going with the brand I knew would have a quality product and rock solid performance. What a game changer. Performs well out of the box. Configureable to all my needs. Able to stream to all our internet hungry devices with hiccup. Would recommend to friends, and would buy again if stolen.

POWERFUL!
I was using the Nighhawk R6700 and WiFi started lagging because I have about 60 WiFi devices. Upgraded to the AX8 and it handles all of my devices and doesn’t even break a sweat. WiFi strength is amazing and my online game play has never been better.

Absolutely amazing!! Does wonders!!
For having 20 megs of speed from my provider. The AX8/8-stream AX6000 does the job for providing more stable and faster internet without any or much interruption to me gaming or streaming. Plus super stylish and boosted my signal FYI I have ceramic walls so believe me when it boosted strength and speed!! Thank you netgear!!

Great Solution for WIFI congestion
Under the current status, we need to spend most of time at home and my family members were using a lot of device which caused rapid decrease of internet speed for each device. I doubted this Netgear Nighthawk WIFI router could be a solution before I used it but it was perfect solution for WIFI congestion. Even it improved the speed of the device in my basement.

Awesome looking router- disappointing performance
I bought this router after reading all the reviews online. The big brother to this router was over my price range, but this one was on sale, so I bought it. The first one I bought had no signal coming out and this was confirmed after a two hour call (1 hour waiting with Netgear; the router was defective. I returned it to Best Buy and received another one, which worked right out of the box. The second router wasn’t as fast as my previous AX router (TP-Link AX6000) and I returned it. I love the design, but this router wasn’t as good as my old unit and maybe it would have been better to purchase the large router from Netgear.

Best of the Wifi 6
Great for a family of 2-6 with ample bandwidth and gigabit support. Range is great and can often times get it in my driveway. Routers above this price don’t really offer my or any other average or above average internet using family and don’t seem to make sense for the average family. Great device, I hope it last.

Surprised
So far, so good. I can tell the difference between this and my previous Netgear router which was pretty good. However; I. Did go from DSL Verizon 1.1 Mbps to Comcast blast 300 Mbps. I kept the old router just to see how it would perform and it did okay. When I switched, my Netgear WiFi adapters maxed out to the speed limit and my downloads increased. I also have extenders in my house due to it being a three story house.

Not stable, very disappointed
Unstable wifi signal. The Nighthawk AX8 has good range but the wifi signal is not reliable and frequently lags. On speed test it is unable to hold a steady speed and looses speed often. My previous router a Linksys EA9500 from 2017 constantly out preformed this router in speed and consistency in signal. The AX8 has difficulty when multiple devices are connected and running for the $400 price tag I expected better. Very disappointed

Good range and speed
This is the best router I have ever used pr installed. I have been using the apple time capsule since 2013 and tried several wireless routers including older Netgear routers and none were worth keeping until this one. It looks cool and the speed is 10-30mbps everywhere. While keeping this in the basement I don’t have issues on the 2nd floor of my townhouse with probably 10-15 other networks near. Stepping out on my porch i still have signal. I do wish the were mounting screws but not a deal breaker. The app works great allowing me to disconnect devices test speed or reboot the router.

Refurbished Router
I usually don’t advocate for refurbished equipment but this time I took a chance and I LOVE it!!! Best WiFi coverage in my 2100 sq/ft home. This thing really covers everything just as well as it says it does! The network speeds that all of the channels are able to hold and the amount of bandwidth that it can support is amazing! Plus the 2 year warranty purchase for 30 dollars?! That’s an AMAZING deal. Definitely worth every penny. Recommend 10/10

It’s a great WiFi/router. Broad coverage. Fast speed and very easy to setup. It also looks pretty sleek. The one issue I have and why it gets 4/5 stars is that for the price I wish it had a more comprehensive firewall. It seems pretty basic. Let’s hope it’s just enough.

I admit I was skeptical because I thought it was all looks, but I was wrong again just like a couple of years ago when I purchased an un-named competitors giant red multi antenna mu-mimo 802.11ac router which was the best then. Now not only am I future proof, I also have a very fast no firewall to configure router! I love Netgear, my new brand.

Decent overall
Easy to use and set up, not the best 5ghz range through walls at least, but that may be true for all routers these days, occasional internet issues that require reboot, but may also be related to ISP. Biggest gripe is the high cost of a modern router, it better last 7 to 10 years to be worthwhile.

Excellent Router
We have dozens of wireless devices sucking up bandwidth, and the last router we had couldn’t handle it (signal would drop take a few minutes to return). This router hasn’t dropped a single time in the week I’ve had it. It was definitely pricey, but eliminating the nagging from my cohabitants (“why isn’t the internet working?!?!?”) has made it worth every penny.

I bought this router in desperate times (work and school from home. Told that the cable company supplied router was faulty (it was the modem). Local store gave few options to choose from, it was more luck than astute research that led to this purchase. My teenagers were pleased to have a strong signal in their bedrooms, which they did not have before. That has proven to be a big improvement for the whole family.

Constantly pulling the highest Mbps and reaches everywhere in the house and covers the entire back yard, living on an acre. Super fast speeds and never have a problem.

We upgraded to WiFi 6 due to having a ton of devices using small amounts of data (ex. Amazon Alexa. Our devices were pretty much in a limp mode and hardly worked anymore.

This device is worth every penny, don’t go budget friendly get what you really want, get a Nighthawk.

Best router 2020 for sure
Can’t fault it so far. Range is great, internet speed drop off is minimal and it can easily handle the volume of traffic in the house. Only problem I’ve had is slow WiFi in a some rooms but this is due to the fireplace and fridge/freezer being in the way which affects all routers. Ordered a netgear mesh to place in a position that’ll negate this!

Setup Knowledge Required
Took longer than expected to connect with the app it requires to install. Actually had to login to the router itself via the Net Address and change settings before it would receive internet from the modem. Several default settings limit the capability of the router including IPV6 being off. There should be more directions out of the box, depending on the app to perform the setup for every scenario is not a great idea.

Not worth it so far
Originally I was fairly happy with the router but the wifi on it ended up completely dying within about 6 months and then I had to go through the whole process to get a replacement. If this one actually is able to work for a couple of years then I will be happy but so far I am not impressed.

Less than impressed
For the amount, this router cost it has been a pretty big let down. The first few weeks were a nightmare between trying to keep the connection up between wireless and wired, apparently, it is a known issue and many people have simply returned the product. I have always enjoyed Netgear for routers but this one may be the one to make me move away from the brand in the future. I now have QoS and the smart connect that differentiates the 2.4/% Ghz connections for each device turned off as both features make my internet unreliable. For the first few weeks it would completely lose internet though the modem was supplying the internet. I decided not to send it back to amazon and it has been better since turning off the features one pays for with a router of this kind. I would also appreciate the ability to schedule a reboot during the early morning hours I have older much less expensive models that offer that feature. So overall I am no very impressed with this router but I am hopeful through firmware upgrades it will eventually be worth the $350 dollars I shelled out for it.

Decided after 8 months of slow WiFi to find the slow down point, had a Linksys EA9200 running ?and was only clocking 25meg download speed out of 100megs. Bypassed the Linksys and the speed increased, ordered and installed the Netgear Nighthawk AX 8 and clocked speeds increased to 1megs download speed. Easy to setup, was running in less than 10 minutes. Very happy with this router!

Review better what you want
Since the day I purchased the AX80 it was problems, problems. I took forever for tech support to help (which they did not helped, horrible tech support), I had to go to social media to get Netgear's attention (which I did). The router got replaced, everything was working "OK" but the range of WiFi was not as expected (WiFi range is ridicously smaller than my old R7000). At 94 days after purchased, once we no longer have the tech support, it started to act the same way, dropping clients wirelessly, buffering like crazy, WiFi disconnect-connect-disconnet-etc-etc. Currently, the problem is getting worse as the WiFi speed is super super slow, even being close to the router there is no difference on speed. As a huge fan of Netgear this is very disappointing, the hardware, the firmwares, and specially the Tech Support.

Fast and easy to setup
This router only takes minutes to setup. The smart phone app leads you step by step, so there is no guesswork. Once configured, the router speed is blazingly fast. The auto select wifi feature makes connecting wifi sensors and switches easier because you don't have to know whether your device requires 2.4g or 5g, the router figures that out for you. All in all, it is a good value for the money.

Tested this for a week. Though I have a 1gig giver connection I’m only getting a max transfer rate of around 100 mbps on any device. When I connect my computer to the LAN port even there I’m getting only about 300-400 mbps. When I run a speed test on the router it shows 900mbps. Will be returning it.

I bought this router a couple months ago and have paid Comcast to come test my system twice for them to show me I’m getting 1Gbps off my modem. This routers lack of firmware updates and support (unless you pay hundreds of dollars to netgear is really a letdown. This will be the last netgear I will purchase due to the fact that I’ve paid $300 for a router that gives me speeds of a $50 router.

Expensive Paperweight
Loved my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk, but this is upgraded RAX80 is most definitely a dud.
Purchased the RAX80 at the beginning of 2020, only to try 6 different firmware versions in an attempt to resolve the ongoing and frequent Wi-Fi disconnections. Netgear replaced the device (which you must pay for shipping and the issue is still present in the latest device/firmware. This is a buggy and problematic router which no one should purchase.
It looks great but will end up being an expensive paperweight as Netgear won't refund or fix it. Be warned!

Terrible software. Unreliable 5g
Needs to be restarted once every few days.
5g connection tends to hang until you disconnect and reconnect.
Decent range.
Advertised features such as smart 5g / QoS are essentially unusable because of the issues the router experiences as a whole. Forums full of advice to roll back drivers and turn off those features.

Great Router!
Bought this router to replace my old NightHawk router. This new router is amazing and works great with the app. I have slower Internet since I live in the country and this router makes speeds so much faster and user friendly! I love that I can disconnect devices so I can decide which devices get more bandwidth. I would recommend this router to anyone looking for a great router which is easy to set up and use!

Compared to the previous Nighthawk, this one was up and running at the speed of light! I am talking Twitchy from Hoodwinked after coffee fastball! Well worth the money. All my devices (yes, I have too many were online, not just the few that hit the router first. Went ahead and splurged on the wifi6 extender to cover the whole house.

Phenomenal product. Originally decided to get, as a mesh system coverage area was much larger than needed. But I got to say, the range on this product exceeds expectations. More importantly, speed: the wireless connection speed is off the charts and connection stays strong. After bundling my bands together, it’s made our Internet much easier to connect and manage. Lastly, the service this product comes with is user friendly and top notch. Been very pleased with my purchase.

Best decision ever!
After years of using the modems and routers provided by the cable companies and experiencing awful connection speeds, I finally took the plunge and purchased my own equipment. I purchased this router for its WiFi 6 capabilities that way it’s useful for years to come plus a netgear modem capable of supporting a gigabit connection. The plan that I am signed up for through my ISP is for 150 MBPS. Doing any speed test and I consistently clock in at 190-215, wayyy over my plan. I’m not sure how the witchcraft behind this works, but I am more than impressed. The equipment is expensive, but if you’re like me and tired of poor connections ruining your gaming and or streaming experiences upgrade to netgear today.

A decent Wifi upgrade
It does a decent job of improving download speeds or at least stabilizing the coverage and reducing the deadzones within the house (which seems to be a non-issue now. The one device that has WiFi 6 (other than the router) is my home-built PC showed a nice download bump on Steam. The Android app works reasonably. Hopefully more convenient USB options become available to upgrade to WiFi 6 on laptops. I don't quite see the need to upgrade my Motorola phone yet. In general, I'm glad I upgraded.

Sadly very disappointing
When I walked into best buy I was looking for a simple WiFi extender. The sales representative lead me over to the nighthawk AX8 and reassured me that it was the solution to my WiFi problem. I purchased it and went home to set it up. I followed the easy instructions and yet my WiFi was still running at the same speeds on 5g throughout the house. Next I spent 2 hours troubleshooting with Netgear customer service just to find out I did everything correct and was asked if I wanted to send my unit in for a new one. I made the decision to return it and look for another WiFi router. Hopefully if you try this router you’ll have better results than I did.

Unsatisfying attempt
This router is fast when things are working well but it drops the connection to the cable modem every 24-48 hours. It takes several attempts to reconnect. Range is ok but not great - not as good as the Apple AirPort Extreme it replaces. When set to automatically choose to let devices connect to 2.4 g or 5g, everything connects to 2.4g - even devices in the same room. For the price, performance is sub-par. U regret the purchase

Great connectivity, not the best GUI
The Nighthawk has great signal throughout the entire 1800 sq ft of the house, and it feels quicker than my previous router.The only issue I had with it, was during setup, where I tried to make it the primary router, but after each restart, it would start the setup from the beginning. In the end I had to select the passive mode (hot-spot mode, I think it was called), deactivating a bunch of the settings, just to get it to setup.

I had a terrible experience with the AX6000. Right out of the box with the Ethernet cord I couldn’t get more then 180 MBts on 5G I was lucky to get 160 mbts and 2.4 I maxed out at 100mbts. I trouble shot for 2 days and I pay for gigabit service. My old Apple AirPort Extreme is pulling gigabit wired and 800mgbt on 5G. Your tech support never got back to me so I was forced to return the router with a terrible flavor in my mouth about netgear.

RAX80 router review
This router drops the Wi-Fi signal constantly, at least once an hour for a minute or two. It also about once a day has to be rebooted because all the devices cannot connect to Wi-Fi, the router loses the passcode. It doesn’t make since, but rebooting clears it up. I am getting ready to pack it up and send it back, if I can’t find a fix for these problems.

We have relied upon Netgear routers and switches since the days of 10baseT. This latest generation of routers seems to be rock solid with an improved interface. It works really well with X6S Mesh Extender creating blanket coverage for a moderate to large home. Works equally well for our business. To top it off, it has style, looking as though it belongs in a Star Wars movie. Do not let the good looks fool you though. If performs quite well and has become my go to router to recommend.

Very happy with this router. Replaced a 5 year old night hawk 7000 and got double the speed and longer coverage in our 3900 sq ft house. Dont need my extender I had in our garage anymore. Easy set up with the Nighthawk app

Awesome machine
WiFi router is working so well. However, I am missing the Disney Circle. It must be included in the existing RAX80s near soon. A powerful router without a good firewall not make any sense. Overall, the router is very good, but missing a nice feature.

I knew I would be purchasing a Netgear router, however I did not know which to select. This one was far and away the correct choice. The new AX technology and my Note 10 work well together. I have all 4k streaming devices through out my home and not a single issue. The option of 2.4g and 5g are an added bonus. Seriously if you want a router that will be a head of the curve and not kill your wallet this is it.

works good so far
this router works good so far with the hookup and isp that i have installed it with. I do wish it had another layer of security like other models i looked at. But i purchased it because it was readily available at the store where the other models i would have had to wait on to be ordered, so conveniently available. i like the app set up on my phone. I do have problems though, signing into the router interface on my computer through the browser for some reason.

As a live streamer, my internet is extremely important and because of the RAX80 my streams have become healthy and stable. I no longer have to worry about disconnects or stream crashes because the RAX80 powers all my devices with no issues whatsoever. The range is incredible, the speed is great, the price is fair. Cant go wrong with this product in my opinion.

I had an Arris modem/router, but the coverage beyond my living room used to detoriate very quickly With this Netgear router, the covered now in every corner of my house is exceptional! Just what I needed. As a bonus, this is future proof with Wifi 6! I am eager to add Wifi 6 devices as they start to appear next year.

Best decision I made
I have to say purchasing the Nighthawk AC8 was the best decision I made for my home. My family uses a lot of networking devices. Our last router couldn’t handle it. But using the Nighthawk AX8 we had fast connections, no interruptions on my Smart TV and video game system, and many people could connect to it and not effecting the router. The app had a device manager, speed test for the router, and also allow you create a guest network. It is everything I want in a router!

Strong signal
The start up was a bit confusing with the app. Kept telling me that I was not connected to the internet, then it downloaded the latest firmware and continued to tell me that I was not connected. 30 minutes later everything started working as expected. Was wishing that an 800 number was available to have someone to talk with. I am a satisfied customer now but went through unnecessary frustration during the start up.

Best router EVER!
Note: none of our digital devices are AX ready, at most some are AC. Our ISP provides 200mb/s. With the old router, which was rated AC, none of our devices would run at full speed. With the NetGear NightHawk RAX80, all devices are reaching very close to full speed and several are running at full 200mg/s. The whole family is very happy. So if you want fast Internet get the RAX80 router from Netgear.

Easy transition from R7000 AC1900
Moved from AC1900 R7000 to this RAX80. Used the iPhone app to setup the new router with the same router SSIDs and the process was very easy and straightforward. I did have to use a wi-fi analyzer to change the channel because speeds were running 15-20% and this could not be changed in the app. After this was optimized, the speeds and range were night and day different from the old router. Glad I made the switch.

The performance is good coverage in a 2200 squat foot house is pretty good still finding one or two dead spots. But what concerns me the most are the wings on the sides they don’t seem to snap together really good, and a parent of 4 definitely see them breaking it if I’m not careful.

Setting up this router was the fastest and easiest I’ve ever had to do. Not only did the app walk me thru it, but using the same network name as my previous allowed all of my devices (12 ) to connect right away without any additional steps on my behalf. Coverage is exceptional, speeds fantastic and all while looking neat with the full-wing design! Pleasurably surprised, yet shocked it could actually be this easy - and I’m a tech nerd that has setup many home and business networks!

Rock Solid Router
We have relied upon Netgear routers and switches since the days of 10baseT. This latest generation of routers seems to be rock solid with an improved interface. It works really well with X6S Mesh Extender cresting blanket coverage for a moderate to large home. Works equally well for our business. To top it off, it has style, looking as though it belongs in a Star Wars movie. Do not let the good looks fool you though. If performs quite well and has become my go to router to recommend.

We were having problems with the distance our old router was putting out, (not being able to get a good wifi signal in the back bedrooms. But with the change it has been a strong signal with much greater upload and download speeds. We have been very happy with this router.

Overall-Not Worth price
I upgraded my nighthawk AC1200 to the AX8 on my fiber network. For short range wifi, yes this AX8 was great, but I also expected to see significant gains in range and longe range speeds. This did not happen.

Upgraded
Upgraded from an Apple AirPort Extreme and Wow, what a difference! We stream our tv services and didn’t know how much of an improvement a new router would make. Gave 4 stars because set up took a few resets for the router to be fully operational. My home is very spread out and this covers all of it, even outside with no issues. Highly recommend!

Quality product
We were having coverage issues with the router our ISP provided us with. Replaced it with the AX8 and WHAT a difference. My wifi is showing speeds of just under a gig and in the same areas I was not even getting coverage with the ISP router. Extremely easy to set up with the app took all of 5 minutes I was very impressed.

It’s quite good and fast. The only down side is that WiFi speeds are not great out of the box. You have to go in and turn off the Antennas and power cycle the device, then turn the channels back on and you get your full speed. I’m hoping this will be patched soon.

Keep getting ip problems and connectivity issues. Also, in the app, I keep getting local router disconnected. Have called in many times for support, fixed the issue for the moment, but went back to it within a few hours. Have some devices that are connected but receiving poor signal even with the triband mesh booster. My household is full of gamers, that’s why i bought this specific router.

Fast firmware needs some work
The router is fast! The range is great! The looks are nice! The only thing that wasn’t working was smart connect which is supposed to merge 2.4 and 5ghz into one network ssid. It was causing dropouts consistently on the latest firmware. If that was fixed 5 stars all day. I would think since the router ha been out a year it would have been by now. My WiFi speed test on my iPhone X not on peak hours with gigabit connection was 400-600mbps. Avg of 350 otherwise. That is crazy especially when it’s not even a WiFi 6 device.

I finally broke down and replaced the obsolete and no longer supported Apple Airport. The swap was effortless and the new Nighthawk has a very nice interface with the app that gives you a good overview of your WiFi network. I noticed higher speed and quicker response from all my video streaming devices. The unit runs nice and cool and is appealing to the eye albeit a bit larger than I expected. Great purchase and I can’t wait for the WiFi 6 devices to start coming out so I can really take advantage.

Good Router improved proformance with wifi 6
The channel is sensitive, it pick up too much noise, is the nature of wifi 6, from my understanding. And on some device after you join, the connection will drop in and out. To fix this i had to reboot the router, or change the channel to a less noisy one, meaning a channel only has one or two device on it. Look for channel interference in the Nighthawk app, under wifi analytics. Then login to the router, not the app and change the channel under wireless. Otherwise this router is fast with wifi 6 and mu-mimo, and it improved my wifi speed. Good luck enjoy the router.

Worst router I've owned
Purchased this in February 2019 for $399.99 and loved it at first. Easy setup and fast speeds for streaming and Xbox gaming..... Fast forward several months and the trouble begins. With every firmware update the issues grow and grow with: WiFi disconnects, slow speeds, Xbox issues, streaming issues, 5Ghz disappears only to show up again as an open network, factory resets for no reason, can't login on the Nighthawk App to update, firmware updates fail, ....and much more. Would return it if I could. Incredibly frustrating when you need reliable WiFi for work and school.

Absolute garbage
I've never had such an unreliable router with such poor software. This thing drops connections endlessly. Multiple factory resets, firmware upgrades, configuration changes. I basically have to power cycle it every day to keep things working. The Nighthawk app is also terrible, it often can't detect the router even though my phone is on the network it's broadcasting. I also bought an EAX80 as well, which I've altogether stopped using as it exacerbates issues with the RAX80.

Do not waste your time money and frustration
I bought this router in late spring/early summer of 2020 thinking it would better suit me for working from home. WORST mistake I ever made! Spent ~$400 for a router that consistently has issues. Everything from the WiFi intermittently going out/dropping to ethernet connections not working at all or producing speeds that are only 20% of the speeds from my ISP. After the initial 90 days, Netgear customer support refuses to help unless I pay for their additional services with no guarantee the issue(s will be corrected. The issues with this router are widespread and well-known by everyone who owns one. Yet, Netgear refuses to rectify the problem. This will absolutely be the last Netgear product I ever purchase.

Fast Wi-Fi router - Very poor setup directions
Being forced to use a cell phone app to do the setup is not the best. The app lets you do the basics, but to do any advanced security setup you have to google the default IP address to do anything beyond the basics. With the amount of hacking going on you need to access the advanced configuration to protect your network

NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8/8 Way to go!
Starting with the styling/looks of the Nighthawk gives you a great idea of what is capable of. The router will provide you with a great amount of WiFi signal all over your home or business. Easy to set up, providing you with an app that will even let you manage the devices connected to your WiFi. The NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8/8 will provide you with everything you need in the most simple and accessible way. I have owned the router for almost 3 years and it is still way better than other newer routers out there.

Excellent for creating a practical base station
I recently had the pleasure of moving into a house with a lot of smart features, but the internet router was in the basement. I suppose this would work fine for light internet users, but as someone who works from home and enjoys streaming movies and games, the router WiFi wasn’t cutting it. We upgraded to this router, and our speeds doubled! We have fiber internet, and we were only getting 400mbps in the upstairs. Now, we get 800-900mbps upstairs. I also like that the app alerts me every time someone connects!

Unstable router with many problems over the years
I've bought this router a couple of years ago and it has been an headache since. Its always good to have Netgear support available for the router, but that doesn't help when there are so many problems with the router and the technicians don't have solutions to the problems... (just take a search online to read about all the problems with the router (and other Negear routers). Netgear's biggest flaw was to release the router before it was properly tested (just to be one of the first producers with an AX router). After this experience (and experiences with other newer Netgear routers), I will never buy a Netgear router again. and I recommend others to look for another brand...

I was expecting a noticeably longer WiFi range. It didn’t seem to be any better than my 5 year old $100 Netgear router. I still have to buy the mesh extender.

Better than expected
We have a 2500 square-foot home and I was very apprehensive that a single router could do the job. We upgraded from an old Nighthawk that was barely getting the job done. This router has given us better coverage and better speed. No dropped connections. Very stable and super easy to set up. I have been using nighthawks for years and would definitely recommend this router especially to anyone who has a home up to 2500 ft.

not sure yet
Was having an issue where the router would stop allowing wireless clients to connect, and would no longer allow IP login for management. restarting would fix it temporarily. I recently updated the firmware and waiting to see if it fixed the problem. One thing I would suggest it figuring out how to extend warranties in some cases. I purchased a refurbished unit and the replacement/hardware repair period is 90 days. this is a reasonable amount of time normally, but because of chip shortages and supply chain issues, we have started ordering gear we need months and months before we actually need to install it. we checked the units when they arrived, but did not implement them in to a system until 3 months after we got them and the rest of the parts of the system arrived. So we really didnt have any time to test it as part of the full system until after the warranty ended. I understand this would be difficult to determine, but it is a problem i see happening a lot. Cheers

Was great, but now
When I connected my Netgear Nighthawk, it was great. Then couple of days later, I noticed it slowed a bit, then slowed to a crawl. Re-installed and it would not connect at all. Then it changed network names all on its own. I’m not sure where to go from here, but I’ll keep trying.

Great router
this router actually maximizes, my super slow internet, for each device automatically selecting which frequency to use for best signal. I read that it covers up to 2500sqft. I can attest to that, my wifi covers my whole house front and back porch and even my garage and shop. The app makes it super easy to setup, and you can manage everything about the router through the app. Well worth the money, even if others see it as wasted on slow internet.

AMAZING!!!!
This is actually the first router that I have ever purchased. A little late to the game I guess. I have always rented from the provider. I recently moved states and had some issues with the router provided by Spectrum. All of my SONOS speakers would never stay connected. I made the decision to purchase this router as it fit my needs and then some. I am blown away by it design/performance. Most of my devices are getting almost 1gig speed while being connected through WiFi. Light years above the performance of my normal rented routers. Setup was incredibly easy and the app is very easy to navigate. I honestly do not have anything bad to say about the router. It is absolutely amazing!!

Fantastic Wi-Fi Router
The AX8/8-stream AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX80) was a breeze to set up. The router software made it a breeze to maneuver around. All my devices hooked up w/o any problem and the router signal was strong in every room of our 3300 sq ft home, even the upstairs. I don’t need the extender in the Master anymore. We were dreading the change, but this router smokes our Asus router. I run a NAS and the 2 GB connection allows for lightning fast transfers and seamless 4K movie viewing.

Extensive Review After 1 Week
Review: Netgear NightHawk AX8 Wifi 6 Router
After enduring six months of frustrating connectivity issues with my smart home devices on Spectrum's 1 GB internet package, I took the plunge and switched to the Netgear NightHawk AX8 Wifi 6 router. The journey from constant troubleshooting—spanning calls to Sonos, Google, and Spectrum, to deep dives into forums like Reddit and X—revealed a common culprit: ISP-provided routers often falter with complex smart home setups.
Choosing the NightHawk AX8 was influenced by its stellar reviews, robust specifications, and tales of similar woes it resolved. The router didn't just meet my expectations; it exceeded them, rectifying the connectivity chaos but also imparting a few crucial insights:
Smart Connect Caution: The router's Smart Connect feature, designed to streamline device band allocation, proved a mixed blessing. While it promises convenience, it can disrupt setups with numerous devices (e.g., my 10 Sonos speakers), necessitating manual band selection to ensure seamless operation.
Speed Distribution: On Spectrum's 1GB speed, the NightHawk's performance is nuanced. The standard band delivers around 200mbps—sufficient for basic smart devices—while the 5G band impressively hits the 1GB mark, ideal for high-demand devices like computers and smartphones.

Highly intuitive, only the SW needs a little more refinement.
Needless to say it’s a real eye opener to what’s happening with WiFi. If I’m not mistaken I was one of the first people in line (after their product announcement to order. It has not failed, probably the most intriguing ability, was being able to bypass the “overly” vague Highthawk app after I applied two security levels 2.4G w2, 5G w3. The router is extremely efficient, coupled with the CM2000, it is definitely a powerhouse to be reckoned with.

Doesn't reach advertised speeds
I bought this product in 2019 and it worked flawlessly for several years when I had a lower tier internet plan. I more recently upgraded to gigabit internet and after upgrading I am receiving less than 400 Mbps through this router wirelessly or wired while getting more than double that directly out of my modem. The product therefore does not work as advertised and you can't call customer service without a subscription after 90 days. I find this entirely unacceptable and will not be purchasing or recommending future netgear products as a result.

We recently upgraded to a Nighthawk router after having issues with our exisitng router from the ISP. Working from home used to mean dropped video calls and slow download and upload speeds, but no longer! Integration was seamless and convenient with the app, and we have not experienced any interruptions in the two months since switching. Our home wifi is faster with a stronger connection, and the app offers easy access to customize your network as desired.

Do Not Buy!
Bought this back in 2019 and it's my biggest purchase regret ever.
Having purchased it to guarantee a stable connection while gaming, it's the worst router I've ever owned. It always disconnects while gaming leading to being kicked out in the middle of a match. This is while on a wired connection, on all ports, using different ethernet cables. It does tend to have issues with WiFi while streaming sometimes leading to buffering even at 1000mbps down speeds but it's nothing compared to the dropping of connection while playing wired and is probably due to congestion during busy hours so I won't fault the router for that, I love the WiFi 6.
When people play on a wired connection, it's because they want a stable connection that guarantees them the best performance and this product doesn't deliver.
No, don't respond to this review linking me to a troubleshooting page. I want direct support regarding a product that has been defective since its launch and purchase. My email is attached to this review as it was mandatory, you can contact me there Netgear.
First and last product from Netgear ever. I'll never recommend Netgear products and should've instead opted for the highly recommended ASUS routers for gaming.
To think this router had all the perfect features just to fail at it's most important job in keeping a stable connection that should never drop and run 24/7.
I don't recommend buying this product at all. If you're looking to even buy at this price point in the first place, you probably want or need all the features it had to offer but the pros don't outweigh the cons of this router.
Disappointing.

Outstanding quality coverage!
Newer router technologies enable this router to perform above our expectations! Speed was essential, as our kids needed it for virtual school, but also larger capacity for more people, more devices and more IoT devices. I am more than satisfied with this router. If I had another option, I would get a router in the same family but more capabilities. I would not go down in technical specs as our work, school and everything from home demands too much from the router.

Best Purchase I’ve Made In Years!!!!
I have used literally every other brand router and finally broke down, bought the AX8. We can stream 3 ROKU’s, 2 iPhones and 2 iPads SIMULTANEOUSLY and never lose speed. When I upgraded our internet service to 1,000/1,000 last week, the FiOS installer said he’s never seen a router get such high speeds on all devices at the same time. He said he was stopping to buy one on his way home that night! Seriously, with everything running simultaneously, the Test Speeds are 875-Download & 938-Upload. The FiOS installer also said that it is already set for when FiOS upgrades their internet to 2.4+ Gbs next year, will not need to be replaced as it will handle it just as well as it does 1Gbs right now. Highly recommend this unit! It may be pricey, but you certainly will NOT regret the investment (especially if you’re using FiOS internet.

I love the speed and consistent connection. My only complaint is that Circle does not work on here as if did on my other Netgear router, I almost want the old one back as I depend on Circle to control the kids internet

Excellent product
The NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8/8-stream AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX 80 is an excellent product. Easy to install and it works like a charm. The iPhone App controls all functions, from security to parental control to guest login. I highly recommend this "fighter plane looking" product.

Major dissapointment
This router has been nothing but trouble. While it may work for a bit, you will encounter dropped connections and slow speeds. I have tried numerous configurations and resets. NETGEAR support is basically useless and will only give you a runaround on what should be an excellent product out of the box. Look elsewhere.

AX8 is Great Upgrade!
We upgraded to the Nighthawk AX8, 8 stream, WiFi 6 router and saw instant performance improvements in our streaming experience on TVs, iPads and iPhones. A bit more pricey than other options but the coverage and throughput are well worth the investment!

Great experience so far
I am amazed by how well this router performs. I do a lot of 4K streaming and online gaming and this router makes that simultaneously possible. I can have multiple devices connected at the same time and running at the same time and will not affect the load speed or quality. Beyond impressed with the experience so far, set up was quick and painless all thanks to their mobile app. The Netgear Armor is also a very neat feature and has already stopped and notified me of potential threats in real time. I will definitely be subscribing to this service and I recommend it.

Great Investment for Gamers and streamers alike!
In my house I have 5 gamers 3 play WoW, 1 plays Overwatch and 1 plays some flight and tank battle game. I am running Gig Internet and also watch Nutflix, Amazon and a few others. Before I got the Nighthawk I was running into buffering issues daily, verizon was no help in resolving the problem. After geting the Nighthawk, buffering was no longer an issue. One of my boys is a hardcore streamer and does that for 10 to 12 hours a day and still no issues when all 5 of us are playing something. Security is also a concern and the Nighthawk has that covered as well. Very easy to manage your network and activate very strong signal encryption and security if you want. Oh and the signal strength is crazy good now, I actually get full bars on my phone when I am out back of the house and about 200 feet away. Price wise, it is well worth the cost if you have heavy users in the house.

I have a very fast internet for a home. With a Gigabit service, you would think your provider’s router would have really good WiFi speed. I didn’t know what great WiFi speed was until I got this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8/8-stream AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX80). What a pleasant change this has been.

Unreliable and PROSUPPORT didn't support!
The 5GHz connection frequently drops to sub-Mbps speeds and I am seeing frequent internet connectivity drop outs on the wired ethernet connection (e.g., streaming pauses for minutes). I have only 10 devices on my network, and the issue appears when only ONE device is connected. This issue is only resolvable by unplugging the device for a minute and then powering back up.
PROSUPPORT was lazy and incompetent- no help at all, they've had a ticket on this for weeks.
In addition, 5GHz does not appear on the 2400 Mbps setting and the only time it appears is with the setting at the 1200 Mbps. Running with the hardware selecting the frequency (2.4 or 5 GHz) renders 5 GHz unusable, so had this turned off. QoS is nonfunctional. OFDMA is also buggy.
Sometimes the router would - on its own - reset its login settings to the default settings. Took me a while to realize that is what it was doing (PROSUPPORT has been unresponsive on this problem after waiting for three weeks for a simple response).
I highly recommend AGAINST this shoddy product as well as NETGEAR altogether.

Really fast
I have been using the Netgear Ax8 router for couple weeks now. I can definitely say the internet speed has drastically improved. I was using a AC router before and I use multiple smart devices along my computers and mobile devices. I was seeing lag and buffering before. With this new router, there is no buffering and lag when I watch movies and YouTube etc. the only problem I noticed is, my google home somehow keeps getting disconnected and needs to connect back. Not sure if it’s a bug in Netgear or in Google home. Never had that problem with my previous router. Definitely recommend this router if you need good speeds and consistency.

It’s hands down the best router money can buy. I’m constantly getting 500 mbps speed on my 1gig connection, and that’s Wi-Fi. Wired computer gets the 900 .

Gamers and telecommuters, beware.
I have always had Netgear routers and extenders. When AX debuted, I figured I would take advantage of it, for future proofing with new devices.
The range and speeds on this thing is incredible. So good that extenders were no longer needed. Recently had issues with my PC that is located on the same desk as the router, suddenly losing connection. It's not common, so no big deal.
1 star rating because of the WAN disconnect that occurs daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Each time something happens, you can see a log entry of "Obtained IP address" and a time server sync. I first noticed it because I kept getting booted out of online games on Xbox. I wound up unplugging it from the LAN and just using Wifi. But as a telecommuter with a company supplied VOIP with an ethernet connection to the router, this is unacceptable. I talk to coworkers and customers, and suddenly the call drops. When I look at the LED display on my work phone, it says "No network". About 5 seconds later, it is connected again. Immediately check the routing log and there is the same message about IP address obtained.
I have been posting with others in Netgear forums for months now, it is not an isolated incident, and the only fix is to replace the router (not the same one, obviously. This kills me considering how much I had spent on this.
So if you need LAN (wired) devices, avoid this router.
1 star for a product with known issues that has never been fixed, but had to give it 2 stars because the wifi range and speed really is amazing.

The router works very fast but also smooth when using it with multiple devices. I have used several routers through the years. This has my vote!

Netgear Nighthawk is the REAL DEAL
We purchased this router because ours was pretty old and never could get wifi except in the central part of our house which is approx. 2500 sq. feet and 4300 sq. ft.(framed and bricked with covered porches and decks. With this new router, we now have wifi all over our house and 200 feet out from the front/ rear and garage doors!! Extremely happy that we made this purchase simply for the fact that there are no longer any dead spots and my teenagers can now have wifi in their bedrooms. We have no problems with the security cameras, phones, tablets, computers, and gaming systems that we push to the limits every single day! Download the netgear app...it sets up your router for you practically in 5 minutes or less. This is the monster router of all...GO GET YOU ONE!!

Cool Spaceship
I bought this to replace my nighthawk r7000p because it started dropping connections the more devices I added.
It's a great router! Setup and configuration with the mobile app was excellent, I enabled smart connect, and have had no issues. The router handles my gigabit Internet with ease.
It's a little overpriced for most people right now, few devices at the moment are equipped with WiFi 6 and you're not likely to get the full benefit for awhile.
But if you have a little extra cash and want a sleek future-proof spaceship router, go for it!

Good and fast so far
My only complaint is the installation. At first i thought that my router is not working (i connected my laptop to the modem via cable and it worked) it turns out that i have to register my modem forst (also from netgear) so that i could use my router which is not indicated in the instruction using the nighthawk app. Other than that im pretty happy with the performance getting about 980mbps download and 50mbps upload (140 mbps on a single device download)

Best router out there
As an Apple man I have always liked high quality technical equipment. Having to replace my base station was hard. But this router from netgear is amazing. The nighthawk slows me to receive gigabit internet to my phone and other WiFi devices. It's app is sweet and allows for some great control over the device. You can test your speed and turn on and off other WiFi devices. I stream tv on two Apple tvs one is 4K. The quality I'm getting over WiFi is impressive. I know the price is up there but you really do get what you pay for. Plus it's future compatible. Well done netgear.

Long range
Great strength over long range and short range. Setup is easy. The wings are delicate. If this falls they will probably break. Somehow this thing can get through walls and provide stronger signal than my mesh network. I wish it was tri band and featured mesh support. The only drawback so far is my cameras disconnect from this router and wont automatically reconnect whereas they do reconnect easily to my other routers

Works Like A Champ!!!
I am a Netgear junky all the way!!! I have been using them for yrs and I will continue. I had my last router from them for over 4 yrs and I feel it was time to upgrade. The only think I was weary about was coming from a try-band back to a dual band, but I see even BETTER performance out of this one!!! It possibly could be the processor inside and just the all around electronics, but I am very satisfied with this unit. I was up and running in under 20 mins, and that was complete setup and firmware update. I like that this router is basically future proof for many yrs ahead, with the AX protocol and what not. I hope I can get my 4-5 yrs out of this router like I do with all my other ones. AND..it look like a cool spaceship, so yeah...thats AWESOME!!! \m/

I did a lot of research when it came time to finally pull the trigger on cutting the Cable TV cord. NETGEAR is an industry standard for all modern day networking devices. The install was quick with the NightHawk App and EXTREMELY easy to manage. I am sure that there will be others who will sing the praises of other companies or devices ... BUT do they match up to the design, ease and speed of the NightHawks? I doubt it!

Nighthawk AX8 Router
Very pleased with the AX8 Router, installed a week ago and have not had one dropped connection. FAST throughput and no streaming issues. Had to constantly re-connect and reboot the last router on a daily basis. AX8 solved all these issues. I am looking forward to new firmware updates which should only improve the speed. Coverage is fantastic in a 3K sq ft house, all corners. Although I did end-up pairing this with the new Netgear mesh extender...just in case.

I bought this device to upgrade to Wifi 6. It replaces my old Google OnHub and did not disappoint. The range is better, the speeds are better, and it has many more features. Especially the router options on the configuration web-page are great. The App is still lacking access to some more advanced features. More integration would be great here. Nevertheless, an overall great experience with the router.

Keeping Me In Line
So far, so good. I was hesitant about replacing my existing router (Apple Airport Extreme since nothing was wrong with it, except the lack of channels and the extra LAN port I was needing. It's nice to have 5 LAN ports and also know I'm ready for future implementation of wireless technology. Right now I'm not using all of it's potential, like when 4K tv's first came out. Design is nice. App control is good, but limited. Only negative for me right now, is that advanced configurations must be done through a web browser. I do believe they need to add more, if not all features, to be controlled through the app as well.

Future proof (for at least a couple years
I love this thing. Setup was easy. The nighthawk app makes everything a breeze. The amount of data that can be transmitted thru both 2.4 and 5ghz channels is astounding. I recently upgraded to 1000mbps and its pretty awesome too ookla Speedtest each channel too see that at 5ghz its pushing 700mbps. My only gripe is that since wifi 6 is fairly new.. not all current devices could take advantage. So far more current portable devices really take advantage of the AX. Cant wait for PS5 or XBOX Series X to come out. Definitely a must buy

Great router, one major issue
My house has gaming consoles, smart devices, phones, computers, and so on running all throughout the day (In fact I currently have 16 devices connected, and that is with quite a few of them currently offline). Our last router was not cutting it due to the high traffic, so we decided to upgrade. Even during my house's peak time download speeds remain constant and video streaming websites load much better. I should also note that all my gaming consoles are now reporting open NAT types and overall have a much better connection.
HOWEVER, there is one major issue I would like to address. As of 12/30/19 there appears to be a connection bug that causes the router to disconnect from the internet and result in a reboot being needed. At first I thought it was something on my end, but after doing research there are MANY others with this issue. While no exact cause can be determined, it is highly believed that it is due to the firmware.
I would love to give this router a 5-star review, but this issue is just too much to ignore. Once Netgear releases a fix, without a doubt this router deserves all 5 stars.

Had an issue with my laptop's drivers, but other than that, transition went smoothly. Used the text and phone support, and it was an average experience, but they were at least responsive.

Airport Extreme Replacement
I left the Apple ecosystem to get a router that was more up to date with technology and security. This unit did not disappoint. Set up was simple, the app works well, speeds seem to be inline with specs. I also have fewer conflicts between devices and streaming works very well. Plus the unit looks like it could easily fit into the Star Wars lineup of starships!

Major upgraded home WiFi
Been wanting to get a newer WiFi system in my home to help the workload of my old "ac" network. Even though the WiFi 6 ax toys are far and few between the new OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access has really sped up my systems. Setup is easy and so far the operation seamless.

AX8 comments
Just received the new AX8 router to replace my R7000. Setup was extremely easy in the same format as the 7000, and I was prompted to do a firmware update at the start. Everything on the network showed up and connected well and initial web speeds appeared faster than the 7000. No issues thus far after 10 days, and am happy with the upgrade.

The Nighthawk is by far the best router I've used. The coverage is amazing, I get clean service in my basement even with the router up on the second floor- something previous routers could not do. Additionally the mobile app is easy to use and allows complete control over my network. In short, the Nighthawk is powerful, reliable, and a must by for anyone looking for a stellar router.

Even though we had 1gb second internet the speed from the old router was less than 100 Mbps this new router has more gotten us to about 600 Mbps. plus this wifi router reaches much further than the old router (less than a year old) but most importantly this router so far work without an issue it just keeps working without having to reset once a while. just because of that it's worth money.

Nighthawk AX8
This router has everything I want in a router. It allows me to give access to guests to cast to certain devices such as my smart tv, VPN with openvpn, port forwarding, and mac address filtering. The best part though is that I'm actually seeing speeds of 800+ Mbps on both wired and wireless on my gig ethernet where my older mesh router only allowed me about 300-400 Mbps per device. The router also covers my 1200 sq ft space just fine so my mesh devices were overkill anyways. It's a little spendy for a router but it's worth every dollar.

Excellent RAX80 router so far
I have replaced my Netgear X10 with this RAX80 router and i would say i am extremely happy with the performance i am getting. It covers our smart home devices, 2 servers, Google devices, and has allowed me to watch hi-def videos on my 3 devices at the same time without issue. Because of how it handles traffic, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who lives in a decently large home with multiple high data using devices.

Have had trouble getting an adequate signal throughout our house using an Apple Time Capsule as our router. Did some research and the RAX80 came up as the best choice for us. That assessment was correct. It was easy to set up and now our signal is strong everywhere, even to our security cameras outside.

The best router I had
I bought it in pair with netgear modem (CM600, because my previous equipment was 2 in 1 modem/router which didn't provide me with even 40% of my normal internet speed. I decided to go with the high end router which supports the newest standards and I'm more than happy that I did this. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Thanks to all the technologies it has inside I have more than double mbps stable connection while my IPS gives me only 2 digits speed on contract. 13 devices on WiFi and 3 on Ethernet so far. That is awesome :) thank you netgear!

I was debating over this or a whole home mesh wifi system. Mesh gives you complete coverage over your intire home. So you don't have to worry about dead zones. However, I have fiber internet and wan't a faster connection then what I could get with a mesh system. So I went with this and was suprised to have full coverage of my intire two story home, and still getting speeds higher then mesh.

I will take every opportunity to prevent others fr
Pros:
- It's cool looking.
- That's it.
Cons:
- Everything?
- Poor performance after a few hours.
- Terrible latency spikes.
- Terrible firmware.
- Horrible Netgear support.
- Price for this horrible experience.
- Wife complaining about web pages randomly not loading.
- Have I mentioned garbage support?
If you like paying for expensive beta testing with a garbage product, then this product is for you. I usually read these reviews and think "maybe they set it up wrong?" "Maybe their expectations were too high?", etc. I can assure you over the past few months my expectations were as low as: "Do I have to reset it once or twice this week?" Netgear Tier 2-3 Support is an absolute joke. It's truly a shame that vendors won't stop selling this junk when it reaches a low enough review. I bought a much cheaper Asus RT-AX58U and now all my problems are gone. What does that tell you? I am going to put the same review on every other vendor site until Netgear acknowledges this issue due to low sales.
My still open Netgear case is: Case #41823031
Good luck Netgear with your products, I hope you can continue to sell people this garbage with their fond memories of their working R7000 and R6400, because this trash will make them forget all their good memories.

Poor Connection and Consistent Signal Drops
In a 1200sqft home you would think the signal would be strong everywhere. Not the case. My old R7000 performed better than this router.
When running 20 devices or more, various devices are constantly losing signal. I moved the router and put it in an open space and it's still dropping connections throughout the day. Web pages load slowly at random times of the day and none of this happened when I was using my R7000.
I cannot recomment this device.

The Netgear Nighthawk AX8/8-stream AX6000 Wifi Router exceeded my expectations! I've used other Netgear routers in the past, but this model is the fastest one I have ever come across; highly recommended.

Multiple Streams
Has ability to stream to multiple devices, speed is very nice, I was expecting to increase my range of my arlo device but found that it is independently streaming from the base to the camera without my router! The router itself has very nice range and speed!

Great product!!!
I am very impressed with the outcome of the product. I have about 10-15 devices connected to the router and all of them are performing better than my previous router which was also a Netgear product. I have been using speed checking app and I can definitely see better speeds at all time. Highly recommended product from my point of view and experience. We always strive for better mobile cell phones and greater network speeds then why not our wifi network. Unfortunately, not lot of people know about wifi 6 but when they come to know , I think net gear ax8 is definitely an answer for most people needs. Great product in short. Deserves more than 5 star.

8 streams lie
Netgear is now being incredibly deceptive when it comes to advertising in their new Netgear why you are using "spatial streams" to describe your new AX routers, cuz this is NOT the same thing as "spatial streams" in MIMO in the 802.11ax standard?
You claim RAX80 4×4 four-antenna (four spatial streams router is "8 streams".
People, do your research, and beware.

Simplicity and power
The AX8 was on my short list after reviewing routers while recently upgrading our system. I could not be more pleased with the decision to go with this router. Mostly the decision was based on, 'what would be the best purchase for the future of our set up.' The last thing I wanted to do was to purchase a router and a year later have regrets. This router is the current measuring stick. And the simplistic set up was a great surprise. The nighthawk app allows me to have full control of my system, even when away from home.

Sharp looking router.
Have had no internet problems ie. 'drop age'.
Great range inside home. ' I also walked outside a good distance and still had a signal.
Very easy setup and not many parts in box.
Setup is done through cellphone app and updating the firmware through app was a breeze.
A little pricey normally but I was able to get a great deal at Bestbuy!
The price to me makes up for my wife and kids not giving me that look why the internet isn't working!!
Thanks Netgear!!

So Far So Good
I recently installed this router to replace my Linksys WRT 3200ACM just because I felt like it. I have realized about 70-100Mbps better speed while wired in. As for the wireless feature I have better signal strength realized throughout my house with the avg being about 2 extra bars of strength out of 5. The capability to wrap the 2.4 and 5.0Ghz channels into a single band is a neat feature especially when you have something like a printer connected on the system. It always seemed like I needed to be on the same band as the printer to get it to work in my previous setup. If you want to give priority you will need to enable the QoS protocol which seems to do the trick on allocating the bandwidth. as of 1/31/2018 I have had this installed for about a week now and it seems to be working very well so far.

Does what it is supposed to do
Finally felt the need to upgrade my 6 year old router. Definitely worth it. Interface is much easier to use, and faster. I have 10+ devices connected at all times and haven't experienced any dropouts. Range is decent. There is an option to automatically detect 5ghz or 2.4ghz so if you move out of the 5ghz range it will autoconnect to the 2.4ghz wifi seamlessly. Nice if you don't have any extenders.

I had to replace a flaky Linksys EA9300 and wanted something that could offer rock-solid performance with a little future-proofing. The AX8 looked like it would fit the bill so I gave it a shot. So far it has worked like a champ--very stable, blistering speeds and nice features. It was not the cheapest option out there, but so far it feels like it was worth the investment.

This router is letting us reach the full potential of our internet. We have a 300Mbps internet subscription and were getting max speeds of 60Mbps with our previous router. We blamed the slow speeds on throttling from our ISP.
With this new router, we are able to get speeds of over 200Mbps. Needless to say - we are pretty pleased!

Working from a home office that includes doing multimedia work and with kids and streaming devices, it was definitely time for a router upgrade, and I am very happy with my new Netgear Nighthawk AX8. The features appealed to me and the results are that I no longer have streaming issues, buffering, or 4k videos that stream at lower resolution. It reaches every part of the house without any dead zones.

Great router. This router replaced a Nighthawk R7000 that was getting a little long in the tooth. Download speeds from my wireless devices are on par with my wired connections. I have a 300 meg Cox connection and using speedtest I will pull 330 / 30 on my wired connections and I'm seeing 290 / 30 using my wireless 5G connections on my iPads and Galaxy S9+ phones. With my old Nighthawk router I was lucky to hit 100 / 20. Massive improvement and worth every penny.

Excellent high tech router
I've been upgrading or replacing my routers every year for the past 6 years and this has to be one of my favorites. I used to work for the second largest cable company for that entire time as well, and this is way better than what they offer in terms of wireless service. I always recommended customers buy their own router instead of leasing one from the cable company. The user interface for the GUI is very easy to use as always. The Nighthawk also makes remotely accessing your router outside of your network very easy. Easy one of the best dual band routers I've used in the past 3 years, much better than the X10 with almost equivalent range. My house is 1800 sq feet and my router is centrally located and coverage is great. 5/5 would definitely recommend for medium to large size homes, as well as two story houses pending it is central to the house.

Best Available Router
I've had many a Netgear router over the past decade and they only seem to get better every time. I haven't had any signal drops and the signal seems to be incredibly stable. Previously I had the Netgear AC1900 router, and while it was really good, there was a noticeable drop in speed after about 6 bandwidth heavy devices and streaming services. But with this router, I've had up to 12 devices connected at once, several streaming and some gaming devices, and not a single noticeable drop in speeds. I was hesitant to upgrade, mainly with the price, but after having it for a little while I'm so glad I did. My home is not too big so I didn't need the AX12 router variant, and the AX8 is perfect for me. If you get this you won't regret it.

Easy to use app and simple set up
Fast connection right off the bat. Loaded up the app and it gave me step by step instructions on the set up. The app is easy to use and helpful for checking on connected devices. I can see what devices are connected to 2.4 and what devices are on 5ghz. I can suspend usage on certain devices whenever I want(kids tablets). I can also easily check my wifi connection speed. Only had the AX8 for a a couple weeks, but have had no issues.

Love the Range & Speed
I have owned nothing but Linksys routers up until the purchase of this router last week. We were frustrated with both range and drop-outs on our home Wi-Fi so I went to Best Buy with the intent of buying a mesh system. After talking with the representative in the store, I understood there to be much better speed / performance available with this router - with expected range acceptability for a square roughly 3k square foot home on 3 levels. After getting it home, I've been nothing less than totally pleased with the range. My 2 year old Linksys always had range dropouts in the far corner of the basement away from the router. This router gave me full bars in that bedroom - only dropping one bar when I placed my body in the path of the signal. Performance has been fantastic - although I did have a niece's relatively new and high-end HP laptop that wouldn't recognize any Wi-Fi signal in the house. That was quickly remedied with an Intel driver update and all is well.

Fantastic throughput
I paired this up with a Netgear mesh extender and could not be happier with my 5ghz connectivity to all my devices throughout my house. I was able to let it auto select 2.4 or 5 for the same network and all my devices can see each other, print, view, stream music. Couldn’t be happier with how easy to use it is. My only wish list item would be more telemetry you ensure that SPI is actively firewall blocking and other firewall information. But otherwise I agree that this is “the Batman” of routers.

Review of RX80
Router is fast over wifi can handle many devices if you have alot as I do myself it prioritizes network traffic and has great signal strength throughout the house Great Product would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great networking experience for home or small business.

BEST ROUTER I'VE EVER HAD!!!
I'm 73 years young & have been messing with computers since 1995. I have had many routers over the last 24 years & this RAX80 AX6000 is by far the best. I live in a modest size home of 1800 sq. ft. built in the mid '50s. The walls are 1" thick plaster over wire mesh and not to amicable to wi-fi. We have 5 wi-fi and 2 wired devices running all day and the signal remains strong everywhere in the house. I am very pleased with this RAX80 AX6000 Nighthawk router. Set up was simple and quick. I don't believe that it could be simpler, even to a dumb old man like me.

Smoothest router yet
Being a network tech for work means dealing with all brands of routers and APs. I replaced my Dlink DIR650 this this upgrade and man was it smooth. The nighthawk app is a great feature for quick changes and check up. After this experience I doubt I will ever go without a nighthawk router in my home.

Best performance and stability I've experienced
I switched to the Nighthawk AX8 from an older dual band ac router that kept losing connection to a number of my Apple Homekit devices at home. The thought was that the bigger capacity of AX80 and multiple stream capability would retain more connections concurrently. So far everything is solid and stable. Streaming speed has improved, while I've also had a noticeable increase in the response speed of siri and Homepod. Looking forward to testing it with an ax-enabled device.

Easy set up
I recently changed internet providers and decided to upgrade routers.
After some research on all the options I went with the netgear nighthawk (AX8/8 8 stream). I must say that it was an easy set up!! I was already dreading spending 10-15 minutes to figure it out.

Awesome router!
Spendy but worth it! This router delivers as promised. As an engineer, I enjoy research so did plenty to land on this one as the best. Can't say one bad thing. The set up with the app is a super nice and easy feature that I really appreciate. We were able to eliminate an older air-mesh system because the signal is so strong everywhere in our two-story home (2000 sf/level). I wanted to future proof so it was important to include the "x" band which will replace "c/n" as technology evolves. I could see where this would be adequate for a smaller office as well. We have teenagers so it is common to have 14 devices connected which includes gaming, streaming videos, and other less intensive devices - all working great!

Out of this world performance
With over 20 devices connected throughout the home, we upgraded from a Linksys E8350 to this Netgear AX8 and boosted our performance from receiving maximum of 85MB per second download on the old system to now receiving a blistering 1GB wired download and nearly 250MB wireless. No more waiting on pages to load, or streaming videos buffering, or gaps in signal coverage around the home. This was truly a fantastic upgrade that will last and worth every penny.

Recent upgraded my router as it was having difficulty with range and not taking full advantage of my 400mbps service. This router was a breeze to setup, and I am now seeing my full 400mbps on my wireless devices. The best part is a lot of future proof features, such wifi6 or wireless ax. It also supports port aggregation on the wan side to take advantage of gigabit plus speeds when they come. And of course it looks amazing

2 Faulty units, miserable support experience!
Run, don't walk, away from this router! Beware - hundreds of consistent 1-star reviews on amazon and other sites.
The RAX80 has been a nightmare from the first week, and after countless hours with on support calls with netgear I will never buy another one of their products. And for context - I'm 32 and work in software, so I'm generally sufficiently tech savvy.
The router began dying a few days after I set it up. Both my 2.4 and 5ghz networks show as available, but all my devices would say "no internet connection", and if I swapped between networks they would tell me the password is incorrect. Turning the router off and on would fix it for a few days, then the internet would go out again and I'd have to repeat the process. Then this started happening every day, then several times per day... It took ~3-4 hours on the phone with tech support to over multiple phone calls going through various factory resets, diagnostics, changing the channels etc. before they finally agreed to replace my router entirely....
The brand new router showed up, I got it up and running, and a week later it died. The exact same process repeated itself - dying once a week, then every few days, and ultimately several times/day. 2 faulty routers.
Netgear service - the people I've spoken with have been nice and reasonably competent, but the process every time has been a nightmare. It takes a minimum of an hour to go through the reset process with them, which they make you do several times before they'll agree to send a new router, and that's only if you're lucky enough to get ahold of anyone. I've submitted ~4-5 support requests before getting a single call back (though every request generates the automated "please rate your experience" email). When you request chat support it will tell you're position inline only for you to watch as you apparently get pushed further and further back.
Netgear says the hardware warranty only covers replacements of defective units, so I guess repeating this process over and over again is my life now. Then support has the gall to try to sell me extended phone support... If I need continued phone support, it's because this is a piece of garbage. I'll never buy a product from netgear again.

Bought this new WIFI 6 router in lieu of the new Galaxy S10 coming out and replaced an old wifi 5 router and I have to say I am blown away! Netgear really hit the ball out and far away from the park with this one! I use the EX8000 Range extender to reach the back rooms and it out powered my old router even, now it carries a link rate of 1733mbps easily through the first floor of concrete walls. I would definitely recommend the RAX80 to anyone looking to blaze passed old standards of wifi 5 and future proof their home!

Needed for Streaming
Easy to install - important to follow directions closely. Had the entry level ORBI which gave me coverage over all of the house but not capable of supporting multiple streaming devices (4 apple TVs, 4 Firesticks, 6 surveilance cameras, 5 computers. The Orbis started to choke when I installed the firesticks. Sessions dropping everywhere. RAX80 solved the problem and was alot cheaper than the higher priced Orbi. The RAX 120 may be needed in the future if I continue to add more devices. Outside of losing range across the house (can be solved by buying an extender), very happy with it. Does what it says it does and it looks like one of Darth Vaders Imperial shuttles!

Almost 5 star
I bought the AX 6000 a few weeks ago. Super excited to upgrade from my previous AirPort Extreme (7years old. I think the aesthetics of this router are amazing! However my wife made me hide it as she didn’t like the star ship look. Setup was where this product losing its stars. App was ok and kind of glitchy at the beginning. Once I got it going I noticed the speeds weren’t that great. Did some internet surfing and played with the setting to get the speeds much better. Overall my speed went up 7x with my 2018 MacBook Pro. 5G network signal has much better reach then my previous router. I use a hard drive on the USB port for my time machine backup. Works great! Haven’t had any issues once I got the setting dialed in. Overall happy with my purchase, just fell short with the setup process.

Superb Router, Substandard Help
When I first setup the router, I setup with a different email than another older Netgear router account that pre-existed. Netgear’s registration site then confused my router with the old router. Unfortunately the Armor BitDefender program got corrupted because of the account change, causing the BitDefender setup to error. Despite multiple support requests spanning over a year, it was never resolved so my router security has been compromised.

Great Wifi signal, lousy company.
I purchased this router from Netgear (the first one I ordered from Amazon and it was a router for Canada, not for the U.S., so I had to return it and purchase a new router from Netgear after speaking to Netgear Support).
As far as the WiFi signal, this router is excellent and fast, however it wreaked havoc on my network. I consistently had problems connecting from my computers to my printers. I would reinstall the printer, delete the original, and then it would work one day, but not the next. It no longer would allow me to connect from my laptop to my desktop computer, and 2 or 3 times a week it would rename my desktop computer saying that a computer by the same name was on already on the network (it should go without saying that I do not have another computer by the same name).
I spoke with Netgear support a number of times to deal with this, first with regular support until I was able to get it through to the person that I was supposed to have pro support. Pro support worked with me a couple of times and the router finally seemed to be working. In spite of having purchased an extended warranty for the router, it turned out that I only had 3 months of tech support; something that was totally unclear as I thought that the extended pro warranty would come with continued support.
Fast forward and the router is now 4 months old and it is once again causing network issues with my printers and laptop. I logged in to my account to find that I was no longer able to get any tech support. If I clicked to purchase a support contract, it would say there was nothing available. I had kept a copy of the phone number for support, which was good because it is not available through the Netgear website. When I called the number and spoke to someone, I explained the problem, was told there was a likely solution, but that I would need to purchase a support contract, BUT, I could only purchase a contract during that first 3 months. In other words, I'm S.O.L. and out over $400. I am beyond angry. I'm sure Netgear will continue to sell routers, as they seem to have a very good reputation for their routers, but their business model stinks! DO NOT BUY FROM NETGEAR.

Got the new router and so far everything has been great. I did have some trouble setting it up for gaming, but eventually figured it out. I think the UI is a little too "dumby proof" which is great for some, but I like a little more detail and ability to customize. I probably can do this, but isnt easy to figure out right out of the box.

Works well and good for a large home
I just installed the Netgear router. It definitely works well, and has a much larger reach. The speed is sometimes an issue. I do not get as much speed even if I am next to the router.

We have 36 devices connect to this router and it has handled extremely well. My kids haven’t complained at all!

This thing rocks!
By far the best wifi router I have had. Easy to set up, and the coverage is fantastic. This replaced a router and two access points, and covers more area.

Amazing
I was having major troubles with my previous router, but once I upgraded to this winged basta**, that all changed. The setup was the simplest I have ever had too. Wifi and wired speed faster, and further with the wifi.

Awesome technology
The top of the class produced to provide excellent connectivity and speed. The RAX80 router stands up to the high end options on the market without breaking the bank, still providing top end performance and style. Easily setup and managed with little technical knowledge. Awesome price and product!!!!!!!!!

Excellent router for future-proofing home
I am very pleased with this router as it does an excellent job providing WIFI and LAN throughout my house without any "dead spots" present in my 2-story SFH with full basement for my 20 devices. The Nighthawk App makes it a breeze to connect all devices and I can monitor them via browser or app with great ease.

AX6000 WiFi Router Review
The setup of the router was straight forward. However, did not see the signal strength as expected with a significant drop off in the floor below. Should have procured a mesh system.
