This is my second Netgear
router in five years. Their products are reliable, which is why when my previous one was outdated, I chose to upgrade to the next level. My wifi signal is strong and can connect easily to my devices. The set up for this model was sooo easy. I feel confident about the level of service and security.

Worth the purchase
I bought this product about a year before using it (was testing out another model during a short move). Despite this, the product was easy to set up, easy to connect other electronics, and have had no issues so far. It works fast for what I need it for - TV, video gaming, working from home, and house cleaning products with wi-fi.

Fast
I bought to replace a TP Link router. This router is very fast, but was a pain to install; took 3 times to get all of the process to load so I could install.

Easiest router to setup!
I have worked in IT for over 20 years. This was the easiest Wifi router to setup I've ever used. It is full of great features. The app on the phone is a great feature that allows me to view the status of the device and monitor and manage all the connected devices. One of the biggest differences I noticed was the speed of triggering connected smart plugs/lights. I have several lights that work via Alexa. My old wi-fi router had a delay that could take several seconds to turn on/off a smart plug or light. With the new Nighthawk, the lights turn on/off almost instantly. Very pleased with the NetGear Nighthawk AX5400.

Unhappy
What happened to simple? My first couple of Netgear routers were simple to set up. I took several tries and a good portion of the day to finally get connectivity but the security wasn't right and wouldn't even let me get into the router to change it. I am not sure where the security step was but I apparently missed it. I will try again when I have time to mess with it.

Perfect solution for home network
I bought this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX50) in conjunction with the NETGEAR Nighthawk 2.5Gbps Internet Speed Cable Modem with Voice (CM2050V). The CM2050V does not have an internal Wi-Fi router, which is what I desired. In the future, I did not want to be forced to upgrade both modem and Wi-Fi/router functions when one or other became outdated or defective.
In the process of installing the modem and router, I installed a NETGEAR 24 Port Gigabit Switch (JGS524v2). I retraced and tested all my Cat6E wired ports throughout the house. I plugged in my patch cables, and I was off and running. Except for a few older pieces of hardware running at 10/100, 96% of the LAN was running at 1 Gig speed. First thing, I logged into the modem and router, seamlessly, and with ease, changed the login passwords, and tweaked a few settings. Most of the factory settings were spot on for Xfinity ISP service.
For my outside, wrap-around porch area, I added a NETGEAR Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point (WAX620). The access point integrated flawlessly as well. I now have incredible LAN speeds both inside and outside.
I am recently retired and not an IT professional. If you can read and follow the directions, you can install these products without a problem.

Happy with purchase
Live in a small ranch and my 10 year old router just wasn't doing it anymore. Did some research online and this one got good reviews. Good thing I did because there was no one to help me at Best Buy. Followed the instructions after downloading app but when router still couldn't be found needed to do the usual unplug and replug modem and router. Works great! Like the app too. Not the most attractive thing so for now I have it hidden in a cabinet until I get some suitable shelves and hide it behind a plant. Overall happy with purchase.

I'm mostly satisified with this router, it's more than capable of delivering high speeds, but it seems like the range isn't that much greater than my old NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 R8000 from 2014, which was unfortunate considering the year gap between models.

RAX50 Router is decent but some quirks!
Bought this router at the beginning of 2022 after reviewing 25 other routers. I've been in the IT business for 30+ years and needed an ultra-reliable solution for my business network without having to migrate over to NOC level aspect. The cost for this router was comparable to other high end routers. I also purchased the CM2000 Modem and discarded my ISP's equipment due to their unreliable functionality.
Unpacking and setup was very simple and all equipment appeared to be brand new with easy instructions to get started. Changing the default login info was effortless and I was able to configure the entire process with no problems. Updating the firmware was also unproblematic and the phone app installation when well too.
Several months after the initial installation, I had some issues with the phone app. The app would not sort the list of devices connected and the reset function would not work on the app. Shortly thereafter, the phone app was updated and everything worked fine again.
A couple more months later, I ran into a few new issues with the router. First, I cannot change the QOS function. If I try to define my internet bandwidth - the router interface does not save the setting and reverts back to the "SpeedTest" setting. Second, the "Security" says it is not enabled on the Home page of the router after logging in. Even though there is security setup on the routher and the phone app, it still says that it is "Not Enabled."
Lasty, I am unable to turn OFF the "WPS" function and button on the router. The "LED Control Settings" just turn off the lights on the actual router device. This is not what I need. The WPS button can still be pushed and a device can be connected.
The "WPS Wizard" get to a point when it asks to input a "PIN Number" if chosen not to use the recommended "Push Button" option. If a 4-8 digit PIN is not entered, there is an error requesting that a PIN be entered. And at this stage, nothing more can be done to disable the WPS feature on the router.
So, minus the listed issues; it is a good router but I think I am going to go with the NOC network option and hopefully there will be no feature holes or discrepancies.

Love the speed, not the lack of visibility
This WiFi router is way fast than my old device and the reliability is good thus far. It looks cool and setup was pretty easy.
I do not like the fact I cannot set it up in bridge mode (or disable the NAT) so that my firewall can see the traffic from the devices behind it. I have crawled the settings, but see no where I can I configure this. There is no logging or anything either that I could leverage to achieve visibility, it just NATs to the external IP of the NightHawk.
I really wish they’d add the ability to disable NAT, or bridge the connection, so the upstream firewall can scan the hosts traffic and report the connection flows.

The AX5400 was a breeze to get connected online. I just downloaded the app and it walked me through everything.
The speed and the coverage in my house is great as well. I have been struggling with service in my back bedrooms in the past. After a couple of weeks now the connection couldn't possibly be better.

My Netgear has worked fine so far but there are times where the wifi isn’t as strong. Therefore, I had to buy a Netgear wireless extender so I can have good wifi access throughout my apartment.

Have been using R7000 for almost 5 years, it was an reliable choice and I hope RAX50 can do the same for me. The new Wifi6 feature has not been quite noticeable yet, but hopefully it can provide a better experience when my gaming gears are set up. Anyway, a smart choice so far.

Excellent choice!
We were having issues whenever we were streaming a movie or TV show, that it would be interrupted. The ISP tech told us that the signal may not be strong enough because it is a big house and that a Nighthawk router would help. I got one and our problems were. Continuous streaming is no longer interrupted. We are very pleased. It was easy to setup. Follow ALL the instructions there is no shortcut.

I realized that we had over ten connected devices which was just too much for my old (ten-year) router. The Nighthawk AX5400 was reasonably priced, installed without difficulty, and most importantly greatly increased speed on all, 3G and 5G, devices. I am very satisfied.

An Excellent Router
My other router was starting to fail, and since I had a Netgear modem, I decided to stay within the same ecosystem and get their router. Setup could have been a little easier, but fortunately Netgear support was there to help. They require you to setup the router via smartphone; however, apparently, my phone was too old to do the job, so Netgear support had to walk me through how to complete the task. Once I got it setup, I had to listen to a sales spiel to get me to sign up for a service contract. No thanks. In all the time I've administered my own modem and router (save for the setup this time), I've never had to contact customer support. I consider a service contract to be a colossal waste of money. Anyway, the router is working well, and I'm happy to have chosen it.

Best router I’ve had yet
I actually wasn’t sure about this one, because I bought it certified refurbished, but it’s exceeded my expectations. It very quickly connected to a brand new modem, and throws Wi-Fi much farther than my old nighthawk modem/router combo. This is also the smartest router I’ve had, with the ability to combine both 2.4 and 5GHz bandwidths into one network and then assigning different devices to each bandwidth for the best efficiency. I couldn’t be happier with this thing.

Fast and Consistent
It's a pretty reliable setup. My internet has drastically improved by over 7.2 times the original speed of my older equipment. I haven't had any drops with my connection or any inability to communicate with the device both wired and wirelessly. I do wish that explanation for all the options were either a mouse click away or just hovered over the mouse. But I suppose that isn't always possible considering that you have to consider what devices are being used. I do wish that the interface was more visually interactive like the videos I've seen on Linus tech tips. That was one of the reasons why I decided to pursue my purchase. I just wish the interface was improved from my older setup.
But regardless of my disappointment, I say that the product is still quite better than anything I've had before. The product is solid.

Switched back from a mesh, no regrets!
I've been using a mesh for several years, and after purchasing and returning all the bad experiments, I switched back to a traditional router. The mesh system would routinely drop to 30-40mbps despite speeds available being 400mbps. I tried a different mesh with similar results and finally decided to opt for the ax5400. The router is located in one corner of the house, but despite that I have full 5g signal across the entire house! With my 400mbps service, I am receiving over 250mbps from the furthest possible point in my home. This had been game changer for all of my smart devices and TVs. Highly recommend.

After a lot of thorough research on routers, I decided to go with the Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 because it fit perfectly in line with my needs. The mobile app provides a streamlined, very easy way to setup the router that can be done in less than 10 minutes. It comes with an abundant amount of features such as the built-in online protection which is great and also gives a sense of comfort. The performance the router delivers is VERY fast and reliable and long gone are the day of my internet speeds being throttled by my old router. Compact, wall-mountable, solid features, great range, amazing speeds, reliable performance makes me very content with the purchase and it's been a very pleasant experience overall.

I had a tough time getting this unit set up. Otherwise, it seems to work well. However, when I powered down last night due to a storm passing through the unit would not connect the first time so I had to power it down again. I also am having trouble hooking my Ambient Weather Station into wifi along with an extender.

Blazing fast wifi
I was using motorolla modem/router bought from best buy and it never gave the full speed internet. Even called technician and had them looked at. His advice was to use seperate router and seperate modem. Modem should support docsis 3.1 and router that support wifi 6. That's what I did. Bought Netgear modem and Netgear router and OMG. I'm getting 800mbps speed.....just loving it. Before I was getting 50mbps to 300mbps from motorolla modem/router.

Easy Setup
I recently installed Starlink and needed to expand my Wifi range. I choose the XR5400 after reading reviews. I have to say, I am not disappointed. I was able to do the setup through my IPhone and it was easy. I really like the Netgear App so I can monitor the Router from afar.

Excellent choice!
We were having issues whenever we were streaming a movie or TV show, that it would be interrupted. The ISP tech told us that the signal may not be strong enough because it is a big house and that a Nighthawk router would help. I got one and our problems were over. Continuous streaming is no longer interrupted. We are very pleased. It was easy to setup. Follow ALL the instructions there is no shortcut.

Working great so far
This router puts my other Linksy router to shame. The Linksy lasted only 8 months and after 3 calls and about 4 hours with their tech people they decided it was a faulty router and said they would replace it once I ship it back at my expense and I would have no internet while it was in transit back to them and when they got around to shipping another one. But that was unacceptable and turned out great because we purchased the Nighthawk and are very happy with it and your tech support in hooking it up was great. Thank you so much.

Good Value and performer
This my third Netgear router. I stayed with Netgear as it's a known product for me and works well. I was able to purchase this on a sale through Amzn so it was a good value for me. This replaced an R7000P that the 5G radio went dead and the 2G only worked on channel 1. This new RAX50 has the familiar setup interface of the prior router. I chose to do my setup manually rather than using the Wizard since I have specific requirements for everything to work right in my Wifi crowded Condo community. Using a Wifi Analyzer tuning the routers channels so as not to run into overlapping nearby channels I was able to get much superior performance on the 5G on this new router. Impressive . I have about 30 devices on the access list which i then lockdown so no one else can sneak in. It's a mix of IoT devices, streamers , TV, phones, tablets, computers. Everything setup well and performance is great. The 5G is used for the Streaming boxes ( Apple and Prime ) and 2 TV's. They are not all streaming at the same time. As a test I set the Bandwidth on the 5G 2400Mbps performance was impressive. For day to day I leave at 600Mbps to be a good neighbor , yet still get good performance. I did find using the Wifi analyzer and the Apple TV streamer network strength indicator channel 153 was the best. Recommended if you need a good performing router.

Cons and Pros of AX5400 WiFi 6 Router
Pros:
.Using the Nighthawk on Android to set up the router is quite easy no issues.
.For more advanced settings go into the default gateway no issues there.
.Setting up port forwarding was easy.
.Using the Armor security functionality gave me good peace of mind and protection from potential threats.
.Setting up a USB SSD storage drive is pretty easy as long it's formatted to FAT32.
.My wireless VR experience using WI-FI 6 is so much better.
Cons:
.My IPv4 address on my server pc keeps on changing so I had to keep updating the router port forwarding for that device.
.NETGEAR still doesn't have a 2.5GB Lan option.
.The price for Armor security is expensive.
.NETGEAR still does not support exFAT USB SSD you have to use FAT32.

Great signal strength
I was looking for a new router with better signal strength and speeds. This is great for my home office which is 2 rooms away. Only issue is the constant notification of new devices from the app. Though you can probably turn that off.

Nighthawk app needed QR
The router works fine and I am able to connect with 5G throughout my home. I had problems with the Nighthawk App needing a QR code. My RAX50 didn’t have one and the app didn’t allow me to manually enter the information. A request to Netgear did not produce a QR code from them either. Why they cannot they provide a simple QR for their products when it is required by their App; I don’t know.

So right out the box its super nice looking and premium packaged.I still kept my box because how nice it is lol.For a device that does so much I cant believe how lightweight it is.Im coming from a Linksys EA9500 and that thing was not only huge but heavy.I like the led indicators on top and Ive always loved the NightHawk look, when you see a NightHawk router you know its a NightHawk router lol.My internet is 400 mbs and i wish i could show you my speed scores becasue they are over 500!! Keep up the great work Netgear and all the features its worth every penny.

New router
Easy to install new router needed for added security for a home network. Cable service provides modem-router but question security of system and also ability of system to reach all areas in and outside the house (patio, garage, etc.. This system did improve connectivity in these areas above the modem-router device and it still allows guests to use the cable network and not have to inadvertently affect the home network.

This was easy enough to set up and I was convinced by the associate helping me that this router would be significantly faster than my TP link, if anything it is slower. The 5 speed keeps dropping connection so we must use the 2.4, which is slower than the to link 2.4. Bummed out with this purchase.

Although I just broke the seal three days ago, it's stating my complimentary period for service has expired, as has my warranty ?????. I'm not sure what to do with this thing now - it's working but sporadic, reading incorrect signals and not updating as it should.
It was 'top of the line' when I purchased it ... But now it seems it's obsolete and not supported by many devices.

Impressive router
My previous Netgear router died unexpectedly one night, and after a frantic search for a store that was open late, I found a Netgear RAX50v2 at a Target store. It was the only non-mesh router in stock, and I had to pay the stiff retail price, but I was able to get back online that night. After setting it up and using it for a few days I was so impressed that I bought a second RAX50 online for my vacation home, replacing an earlier model Netgear router that was not having any issues. The RAX50 is easy to set up with the app and I like the feature whereby it optimizes which band each connected device uses. And my wireless is really fast now. The included Armor protection is nice too. This router works for me and what I do.

A huge upgrade
We previously had an older Netgear Nighthawk model that was starting to have issues. Luckily, when searching for a replacement, we ended up finding the AX5400, which not only worked as a replacement, but as an upgrade as well. The wifi speed ended up improving thanks to wifi 6 and the 5 GHz network was now able to reach the living room, giving those who used their computers in that room a better connection than when they only had the 2.4 GHz network. I highly recommend this router for anyone looking for an upgrade to wifi 6.

Previously I was using a NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 modem/router. Experienced poor connection and stability occasionally. Upgraded to a NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.1 modem and paired it up with the RAX50. The reliability of my wired and especially wireless devices have grown exceptionally. The wireless range has also expanded by a large margin. I’m a big fan of the Smart Connect feature as well. Excellent choice for up to 1000mbps plans. My ISP is Optimum.

I was using spectrums WiFi router and my phone never worked with it, wired connections worked for my PS5, Smart TV, Nintendo Switch. Yet my phone would never connect to the internet and if it did it was literally snail speeds, would take 10 mins to load a basic website. This new WiFi router works like a dream and will save me 5 dollars a month.

Great router with lots of features
This router is great for gamers or anyone who needs strong reliable connection. It has many features including wifi 6 for future compatibility so it will last you a long time. Although a little pricey, it is definitely worth it if you can get it on sale.

product review
My and my family own two netgear nighthawk routers and we can’t be happier. We’ve recommended this product to other family members and to this day believe this is the best internet router out there. The number of features in the mobile application makes the experience smooth and easy.

Very well impressed!
I switched to a fiber internet company and wanted my own router. I saved over 100 dollars with this amazon deal rather then best buy's outrageous prices. Easy enough to setup, Easy control with a push of a button on the NETGEAR app, And also lets you know when to update your internal firmware for the latest updates! I'm so glad I got this router and believe you should too! Best one out there by far!

Solid. Good speeds.
I purchased this after having difficulty getting a competitors router stable - would frequently drop connection to all devices. Have used this for a week and haven’t had any issues while having similar speeds, the other would have dropped connection several times already. So far so good. A couple of notes:
While updating the firmware as recommended upon install via the app, router wouldn’t finish install and would not operate properly. No error prompt explained that it was already up to date and did not need the update, I was only able to figure it out and get router working through my PC.
Range isn’t as good as competitors, 5 and 2.4 signals both noticeably shorter than the other in same price range. Still good for my use case, but worth noting.
Getting an attached external HD working through windows 11 took trial and error. Readyshare not as intuitive as could be and required additional settings adjustment to get it to map to windows. NETGEAR software/instruction not very helpful in that regard.
Overall: good but not great range, excellent speeds, more reliable connection than direct competitor, install through app not successful.

Powerful device, easy self setup
It seems Netgear has really thought things through with this device. As a non-IT professional, I was able to setup the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50) myself. Not only was I able to set it up, I was also able to set up a guest network for temp users visiting for the day or the weekend. The iPhone/smartphone app makes it a breeze to do the initial setup and manage the router functions on an ongoing basis.
Handling the unit, it feels solid, and visually, it looks like it was designed by those that designed the military's stealth fighter jets.
Since installing the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50), there are no more wifi deadspots in our home and even sitting outside on our back deck, we still get a great wifi signal.
Netgear hit a homerun with the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX50). I like it so much, I'm going to order one for my office!

Great for household internet management
This router is a great upgrade from our last one. It has a high capacity for all our internet needs, better wifi range than our last router, and some great solutions for managing our kids' internet usage. Some people don't like the parental controls (or that you have to pay for them, which is understandable), but they're very useful for us.

Make sure to download the app first before plugging in the router. I did not do this, so the wifi kept kicking off. Once I downloaded the app and reset the router, it has been working perfectly. I did not receive explicit directions on what to do first. That is why I put the 4 stars. Should be 4.5.

I like the fact it has the app too, can check strength, set for children lots of things even when you’re not home, set up was very easy, no more having to go on a computer to set up, just download nighthawk app and few minutes done.

Solid, Stable, Consistent
The Nighthawk AX6 provides consistently strong, reliable signal and is very easy to setup. The only reason it doesn't get five stars from me is because it needs to be managed via phone app, and the app itself is configured to provide an overwhelming number of push notifications by default. But those settings can be changed on the fly.

A whole new experience
We had an older router that came with our service it was not keeping up with multiple people working from home so a friend of ours recommended nighthawk to us we purchased one and got it installed and it is a world of difference.

Nighthawk Router
First, I love the look of this device. Its sleek and super high-tech design makes my internet connection corner look scifi. The setup was easy, download the app and get it configured. It replaced an old piece of crap from Spectrum and the connection is working great.

I have many devices so it took a while to arrange them all on 2.4ghz or 5.0 ghz. My Apple pieces liked 5.0, the others needed to be on 2.4. My internet light turned red even though it still broadcast just fine. With a little troubleshooting and resetting it was ok. I'm no programmer, so just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Great Router at a Great Price
This router was on sale on Amazon and we gave it a try. Our fiber internet runs at an advertised 1 gig speed and I was able to speed test the wifi at 950 meg up and down. Amazing! I recommend this router for people who have a fiber modem. It was plug and connect and you can use the Netgear app for easy setting up further.

An excellent WiFi solution
I wanted to replace my Fios wireless with WiFi 6. I started with Netgear RAX15, then with Netgear WiFi 6 Mesh Extender, and now I am using Netgear RAX50. I have been getting about 300 Mbps on my 200 Mbps internet only service from Fios. My TV viewing is from video streaming for multiple TVs, and many devices like doorbell, automobiles, garage door openers, oven, and most of all smartphones and personal computers anywhere in my 3200 square feet home. So far, no problems and it works like a charm for all my devices. I see no need to purchase a higher rate of internet service from Fios.

I replace my internet providers router with the Netgear Nighthawk. With the providers router the best I could get intermittently was 250mbs to our second floor. I installed the Nighthawk and was about to get and maintain 450mbs to our second floor. No comparison it is well worth the money. Also I no longer have to pay monthly router rental.

My Problem is Fixed
For forever I had weirdly bad internet even after paying the ISP extra for higher speeds. Oddly enough, researching the issue did not tell me it was the router I had, that was until a hired tech told us that this might be the issue. He recommended Netgear so I gave it a try. We have been unlucky in the past with certain tech stuff but my fears were assuaged as it was plug and play straight away and the issue was resolved, I am quite satisfied. I am still in my first month with the product but so far it is great and I hope it continues to perform well into the future.

Mobile App
Netgear Nighthawk router when compared to Linksys was more tedious to set up. The corresponding mobile app has flaws, like it doesn't properly detect heo devices are connected (e.g., it lists devices wired when connected wireless).

Perfect for wireless VR
I am not much a network person however I have been trying to get wireless PC VR to work well with no luck until I got this router. It's perfect. 30 ms latency 150 mbs. Thats not a typical use case and PCVR wireless is a gamble with routers but this one is perfect. Outside of that it was dead simple to set up mostly because of the app and I have no complaints.

Excellent and fast router
All the people in our business rely heavily on internet access to function. The existing Synology router went down due to a power failure improper shutdown that morning. I was able to pick this one up quickly and get the business back up in an hour. It was easy to set up and was just as fast. It does not have nearly as many system controls and features as the Synology so it has since been replaced. However I now have an excellent back up if ever needed again.

Bought this because of looks and functionality. Doesn’t disappoint. Only reason I go with a 4 star instead of a 5 star is the app. App works but after a few days of using it the device manager page changed and I was no longer able to block devices with a simple click. The new page is white and takes slightly more time to interact with. Liked the old page better.

Good Router
I purchased this router to replace a Netgear AC1750 since I moved into a larger house. I subscribe to a 1gbps service and live a 1750 sq ft 2 story brick home. With the AC1750 I was getting 75-250mbps in the rear upstairs office, with the RAX50, I get 250-500mbps in the same room. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price point. It is a little steep regular price, but the sales during Black Friday - Xmas were pretty good.

Great Router!
This is the 1st time I have purchased my own wi-fi router. I have always used my cable company's router which was costing me monthly. Now I have switched internet providers and purchased my own equipment. After research, this was the option I thought best. SO far so good!

Bad documentation
This should have been plug and play. I followed instructions using the Nighthawk app on my phone step by step, but couldn't make it connect to the Internet. Finally had a cable technician come out and he eventually figured out that I hadn't completed the installation because nowhere does it say

Nighthawk AX5400
I have been using this router for a week now. I am very happy with its performance. I used this one to replace an older Linksys that was dropping out and I was also using a couple of wifi extenders for coverage. With this new Nighthawk, it is able to cover my house without the need for the extenders. It has great coverage and speed tests are faster than previous router. Set up was pretty easy using the app. I did have an issue where it was failing to do firmware upgrades but apparently completed it eventually. Software GUI is easy to navigate. You can set up priority connections for each device. I wish they would let you do bandwidth limitations for devices. Overall, very happy with performance.

NightHawk AX5400
We bought the Netgear NightHawk AX5400 router recently because our old router just wasn't doing the job. Since installing this new router, our speeds have been so great and we've been able to do all the streaming and browsing we want! We can have multiple devices online all at once and the service is still great with no lag. This router reaches throughout our whole home unlike our old router. The NightHawk app allows us to see all the devices currently connected and gives us the ability to block those devices for any given time if needed. The NightHawk app gives you complete remote access from anywhere, you don't have to be in range of the router/at home.
We are loving the NightHawk AX5400!

Setup was a breeze using the iOS app. I thought I was going to have a lot more trouble getting this unit going. I kept the same SSID name and passwords, so pretty much everything reconnected to the new Wi-Fi router without major issues. Speed doubled over my old Apple AirPort Express, and appears only to be throttled by DSL cable modem speeds now. Probably got with a Netgear NetGear Nighthawk Dual-Band AX5400 DSL modem next

Replaced older night hawk r7500v2, with samba server, this router had half the range and threatened to remove security features after 1 year unless 99 a month subscription paid. Couldn't even go 100ft in g mode, free WiFi 6 router from isp was far superior. Tried everything from changing channels, no samba support in ready share final blow. I've always used netgear products and I know better than to deal with their horrid and rude support and this was unsolicited spam, I didn't ask to be contacted. Hours of my time wasted.

This internet router is very strong with our fiber optic internet. It holds download speed I can control who is on my wifi via the Netgear app. I can also check my download speed via the Netgear app as well. 10/10 recommend this router.

We purchased this device to setup a wi-fi signal in our office. We were able to setup our personalized wi-fi in about 15 minutes. My whole team was able to connect immediately without any hiccups. Great device!

Great once I got it working
This took a couple tries to set up, after failed updates and no signal I started totally over. But it works great now! I wished there was a way to set it up without downloading yet another app. It seems like a decent router for the price (bought at Best Buy).

Great upgrade from Netgear R7000
My old Netgear R7000 router served me well for many years but had started dropping wi-fi (especially 5G band) almost daily for a minute or so each time. After much online research I decided to try the RAX50. The R7000 gave good coverage throughout our 3300 sq ft house but I was concerned about the range of the RAX50 since it's advertised as suitable for up to 2500 sq ft. My concerns were unfounded as the new router provides a stronger signal and significantly faster speeds on both the 2.4G and 5G bands to every room in the house and even outside to our whole-home backup generator. I've only had the router for a few weeks but there have been zero wi-fi drops. Regarding speed, I have a 600 mbps internet plan but was getting less than 400 mbps with the R7000 on the 5G band. I could get the max speed only with a wired ethernet connection. I now get wi-fi speeds of 600 - 650 mbps everywhere in the house.
Set up was straightforward once I did the initial setup with the Nighthawk app and followed up with the web access for more customizations.
Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

Way worth it
I bought this to upgrade from my Spectrum-provided router. I was getting (if a good day) about 100Mbps down and maybe 5 or 6Mbps upload. The moment I plugged in this Nighthawk and ran a speed test the results were amazing. Plus, having all my devices automatically connect to the new router was great. Setup took maybe 30 minutes if that

Great Upgrade to Home Network
Used to have about 192ms while gaming with our old router since me and my brother would be playing at the same time. However, after getting this RAX50 router, my ping dropped down to an average 30-35ms. I love how easy it was to install and configure, as well as all the security features. Worth every single penny.

The AX6 6-Stream Exceeded Expectations!
The family has owned Netgear routers over many years upgrading them as the technology improved. Needless to say this router is the best one We have owed offering improved security, easy installation, greater coverage, wonderful app interface, and monitoring of devices connecting to it. Netgear has upgrades for protection of individual devices with products that compete with the leading edge protection software. You can customize to the degree that you feel most comfortable, at home and away. After installing the router, the protection that has a trial period picked up malware on two devices that the devices themselves did not detect. That confirmed my purchase, and along with my experience with Netgear, I can continue to use the internet with confidence and know that I have the best product available to safely navigate as well as protect my family’s investment at home. Did I say I liked it, if I did I meant to say “I love my AX6 6Stream. Thanks Netgear!

I purchased this router after upgrading my home internet to gigabit fiber. It works pretty well, but doesn’t deliver the full gigabit speed. There is a setting within the router that limits the speed to what it thinks your device needs. Luckily, you can turn this off.
I’ve not experienced any drops or random cutouts. It’s good for what you paid.

Not bad…
The router seems to be doing a good job handling my wired and wireless networks. In fact, a much better job than the one from my ISP. Range on the wireless is great and reaches from end to end in my 2100sqft home. The only place I feel something is lacking is the app. No landscape mode on my iPad Pro?? Lots of “things” to click on but I don’t feel they are adequate explained or called out for purpose and why I’d want to use them. Overall this router is doing an excellent job but I feel let down by the supporting software.

The inability to configure our internet service provided router lead me to search for a replacement that could fit our many device needs. Due to the unique aspect of our business - a tech oriented non-profit organization - I also needed a router that could handle many different connections without issue. The Nighthawk AX6 checked off all the boxes, setup was a breeze, configuring the router was easy to meet the needs of the smart systems we operate and I couldn't have asked for a better router!

I bought this to replace the stock Google mesh system in my house which was struggling to keep up. I’m back up to 900mb speeds. The setup was stupid easy. I would buy this again in a nanosecond.

I wanted to upgrade, but the router does not recognize the modem. "No Ethernet cable connected." Tried new cables, power cycling, changing settings, etc. It took the whole afternoon to convince Netgear tech support that there was a fault in the router.

Control
The single sheet diagram identifying parts of the router would be helpful if it stated the WiFi item was a switch that has to be turned on and lit for the antennas/WiFi to operate. Many cheaper routers do not have an antenna on/off switch so this could be new to many users.

Fast but limited range
I bought this router for our 1 gig internet that my husband and I use to both work from home. By far the fastest internet I’ve ever used and love the extra armor/protection. I live in a 1800 ft 2 story condo and the router is on the 1st floor. My office is on the 2nd floor. The telehealth service home page I am a provider for tests speed at the shift start and reported slow speeds and occasionally my service disconnects. I would expect more for the price and features.

So far so good
I had bought RAX50 a year and a half ago because I thought my RAX80 was bad. At the time I could not find another RAX80 so I bought the RAX50. This router is great for a mid size house with average usage. I have inlaws always streaming videos and two young adult kids always gaming and an extra large amount of devices. Well my Rax80 finally died after receiving a large power surge through the house. The RAX50 isa great router just is at its limit at my house, therefore only 4 stars and I'll have to go up another level soon. Otherwise my wife can't work at home.

Great Wi-Fi 6 Router
I purchased the Netgear RAX50 to replace another brand AC2300 router (2 years old) which seemed to be losing it ability to fully provide the Internet download speed that my ISP was now providing. This problem was confirmed by a technician from my ISP who came out to diagnose the issue: the AC2300 router was the bottleneck. The Netgear RAX50 worked very well to deliver the full Internet speed that my ISP was providing to me plus I got a Wi-Fi 6 technology upgrade to boot. Setup was fairly easy. So far, it is working well.

Top notch performance
Fast ship got as discribed good as new after performing a reset. Only setback was setting up. As router stil had personal info, passwords, and usernames to overcome and re configuration was needed for router to function properly, used nighthawk app from Netgear to set up as if it was brand new. Happy with purchase and a good buy..

Very Good for livestreaming
Very good router for livestream. We are currently streaming at 720p and looking to move up to 1080p. The old Cudy router didn't handle 1080p. We also use up to 3 cellphones running Droidcam OBS and needed updated tech to handle the network load. The RAX50 is doing the job.

Ultimate WiFi 6 Powerhouse
Finally, a router that delivers on its promises! After setting up the Nighthawk AX5400 in my 2,400 sq ft home, I've been consistently impressed by its performance. The WiFi 6 speeds are remarkable - I'm getting close to my full gigabit internet speeds on compatible devices, even two floors away from the router.
What really stands out is how it handles multiple devices. Between our family's laptops, phones, smart home devices, and gaming consoles (often all running simultaneously), the AX5400 doesn't break a sweat. The six-stream configuration makes a noticeable difference in preventing any slowdowns during peak usage times.
The setup process was surprisingly straightforward through the Nighthawk app. I particularly appreciate the built-in security features and parental controls, which let me manage screen time and content access for my kids' devices without any additional subscriptions.
The four ethernet ports deliver solid wired performance for my home office setup and gaming PC. Speaking of gaming, the dedicated gaming port with QoS optimization has noticeably reduced latency in online games.
Coverage is excellent - no more dead zones in the corners of my house or out on the patio. The beamforming technology really seems to make a difference in directing the signal where it's needed.
While it's not the cheapest router out there, the performance, features, and reliability make it worth every penny. If you're looking to future-proof your home network and get consistent, fast speeds across all your devices, the Nighthawk AX5400 is an excellent choice.
Pros:
Outstanding WiFi 6 performance
Excellent coverage and range
Handles multiple devices with ease
User-friendly setup and management
Solid security options

Incredibly Fast and Reliable
The Netgear Nighthawk AX5400 is an outstanding router that has exceeded all my expectations. Right out of the box, I noticed faster internet speeds—actually surpassing what I’m paying for with my ISP (Cox). The connection is rock-solid throughout the house, thanks to the router’s high-performance antennas, which ensure a stable and consistent signal even in rooms far from the router.
One of the standout features is the Nighthawk app. It makes controlling the network a breeze, whether I’m setting up a guest network or managing connected devices. The setup process, however, did take a bit longer than expected because Cox required the device to be registered on their end. While it was a slight inconvenience, it was absolutely worth it. The Nighthawk AX5400 outperforms Cox’s provided equipment in every way, offering superior speed, range, and reliability.
Lastly, Netgear’s customer service is top-notch. They were responsive and helpful, which added to the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a router that delivers on speed, range, and user-friendly controls, the Nighthawk AX5400 is a fantastic choice!

Total junk
After using for 4 months with my new 1 gig fiber optic the unit suddenly starting throttling uploads to 75mbps and downloads to 375mbps. Rebooting router increases speeds to 800/900 respectively for 20 mins tops. Called Netgear and they said it was interference even though I was the only person on that channel. Changed the channel anyway. Called fiber optic provider and they came out and said it was my router. Called Netgear 3 more times and they wont talk to me without a service contract and will not allow me to return for warranty until they try to "FIX" it....for a price of course. Service provider back out today and installed new ONT, Wall jack and Cat5 jack.... speeds of 800/900 for 30 mins now back down to 300/75. Reboot router back up 800/900...notice the pattern here. I now have a paperweight that the company will not stand behind and fix with out spending more money and will not return it without spending more money. If I am going to spend money it will be for another company's product... You know the old saying..Fool me once. This company should be ashamed at the customer service they provide...or more accurately DON'T provide!!!

Nice router, a few issues
Physically the router is easy to look at and works very well. It replaced an older Netgear Nighthawk. Fortunate I got someone from support who could work with the software and hardware glitches that sucked up the next 3 hours, but once it was fixed, it's a pleasure. We notice better signal penetration and coverage, which was not critical but it certainly helps to have it.

Range and consistency
After having multiple routers over the years from netgear competitors, I finally came across this Nighthawk. The competitors had either no range, issues with stability, or both. From experience.. 2ghz is normally the farther range signal, but this router is the ONLY one that had 5ghz reaching the opposite end of my home. Lowest ping and farthest consistent signal, a big W from me.

I was renting a router from Spectrum and very happy. Then my promotion ended and started paying $8 a month for the router. I was hesitant because I thought there would be a diminishment of service with another router. I was wrong. The Netgear Nighthawk is super easy to install and has the same if not better performance than the Spectrum router. I definitely recommend!

Was a easy setup when using old wifi name and password from old router you don't have to reconnect everything to new router(like cameras, tvs, phones). Very fast supports 2g download speed and you can keep updated on your current speeds and how good of a signal you have with the router anywhere in the house or outside.

Great router for money
I purchased this router (used at amazon, like new), it was very easy to setup. Just scan a barxcode and follow the screen. It allowed me to have the same name and password so I didn’t have to change anything. I have 12 hi def security cameras installed plus all other items for a total of 33 Wi-Fi items connected. When my lights are on we are at over 45 units attached but they all run fast. Not a single glitch so far. Even outside I get great reception. That was my main issue with the old TP router it slowed down with over 20 Wi-Fi items attached to 3 or 4 mega bites a second. Very very slow. I have a 500 speed connection and it’s much more than enough for my home. I just ran a speed test on my phone through a third party app inside the garage and I was running at over 350 megabytes a min at least. That’s pretty impressive and my outside camera gets great Wi-Fi signal as well (installed about 100 feet or more away on edge of our garage ). Over all so far happy with it. Only thing is that I get so many pop up msgs each time something connects with armor. Which is great but maybe less frequent messages be better. Otherwise it’s a great unit with long antennas that seem to do the job even though it says only 25 devices, like I said I’m at 49 or more devices connected including 4 TV’s , 12 camera hi def security Wyze cameras, my stove, fridge, Alexa and my phones, the list goes on but they are all working much faster and slow downs at all in about a week that I have had it. I highly recommend it. Specially if you can get a deal like I did through amazon Refurb. Good luck and I will update my review over time.

Possibly a router setting I need to figure out how to fine tune. Otherwise, very pleased with this particular NightHawk router.

GET THIS ROUTER!
I recently started a work from home job and needed a reliable connection. I live in a rural area, so thought that my connection issues were related to that. I have a friend that works in IT and recommended for me to get a new router, specifically the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400. I am used to dropping connection at least once a day, but I have not dropped my connection a single time since switching to this router, and my speeds are faster than ever! Definitely would recommend!

Boosted my laggard speed
My 5 year old Nighthawk stopped working. I used the free modem provided by Century Link but my top speed was only 125 Mbps, when I was getting over 600. I searched for a compatible Nighthawk and found an upgrade AX5400 wifi 6 router. Installation was not difficult using Neatgears app. Now up to 6-700 Mbps on my iPad and iPhone and close to 900 Mbps on my computer as advertised by CL.

I knew the nighthawk was a great router but the range is better than i was hoping for. Multiple devices stream simultaneously without any lag.

Changed my wifi and needed a bit stronger router to get through the stucco walls. It works great and was easy to install... I DID have to call Netgear support and with the second person, it was up and running in moments!!

Somewhat Disappointed
Router installation was easy using the Highthawk app. However one of our devices (a Dell PC was not compatible with the AX architecture. AX had to be turned off through the router software in order for the one PC to find the network. Disappointing!

This routers performance far exceeds any other router I have had to date. Connective range is also outstanding seeming to exceed the range listed in the description of the box. Thirdly, the router design looks very modern and sleek. I have always heard about the Nighthawk routers and now my only regret is that I didn’t buy one sooner.

Great Netgear Help experience
I had issues with installing the router I purchased with the new modem. I tried for over an hour and then gave Netgear a call for help. The assistance I received was excellent. They had me up and running in no time. The router is quick and reaches throughout all 3 levels of the house, even our basement and it’s on the second floor. We can use it outside and in the outbuilding too. Very impressed and happy with the product and service.

Problem solved!
Recently bought this router because the router our cable system gave us was i thought very good. However it keep cutting out or loosing signal quite frequently. We’d call our cable provider and they’d just say everything was good on their end. Yet at times we didn’t have service. Nightmare. Decided to get the NIGHTHAWK AX6. Since we’ve installed the router kit seems like our problems were solved. Time will tell. As of right now almost a month in. Haven’t had an issue. Thanks NETGEAR.

Needed to upgrade from my old router to get WiFi coverage to my backyard and patio. The Netgear Nighthawk AX6 (RAX50) solved the problem. Very easy setup and performance has been great.

Nice upgrade from the R7000
I have the RAX50 model. I upgraded from the R7000 router which is actually a pretty good router. The R7000 provided good coverage on my 1700 sq ft home and I had no pressing need to upgrade. I just wanted to upgrade to the newer wifi 6 standard. And get better coverage in the back patio. I used the Nighthawk app to set up the new router. Just had a couple of minor hiccups. But eventually, all my previous settings from the R7000 transferred over to the new RAX50. I have been using the new router for a couple of weeks and so far it works great. The coverage and bandwidth have increased nicely in every room. I even attached a portable WD USB hard drive hosting videos to the readyshare port. It streams videos to all my four TVs just fine. I also make use of the ethernet ports to connect to an older non-wireless printer and my Mac. So far after a couple of weeks of use, I can attest the Netgear RAX50 is a good router. Time will tell on the long-term reliability. (My older R7000 works as good as new.) Highly recommended.

Wifi 6 - Huge improvement over my old router
I am impressed by the range and speed I am getting from this new router I recently installed next to my modem. Previously with my old router I was getting very slow wifi speeds when running my computers upstairs. I have a fairly large home running several devices on wifi. This Nighthawk router offers much better consistent and improved speed performance.
