Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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....

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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/

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top End Router 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Signal distance disappoints 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

We live in a classic 2 story with a basement and in the farthest reach through walls, I still am pulling ~280 MBps - an upgrade of over ~200 MBps! Worth the money and a high quality look and feel. Easy set up.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear RAX80 Mihhthawk Router 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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!

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 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Hardware! By far the best coverage at great speed. The piece of hardware is impressive, the latest firmware update is extremely faulty which can mislead you thinking the unit is defective, but after a little search online I found that not upgrading the firmware or downgrading (my case is the solution. Please correct the update to enjoy this fantastic router. I just changed from cable to fiber, and this router makes the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Router! When my old AC router died unexpectedly quit after a rash of thunderstorms and power outages I decided to jump up to a WiFi 6 router. The AX8 AX6000 looked ideal and has proven itself. Installation was extremely easy. The WPS feature turned out to be very handy when I reset my printer. Performance is excellent. Can’t wait to our new iPhone 11s arrive Friday to give WiFi 6 a true test.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible experience 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Over all above average 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.

Easy to install, great app and everything is connected and working well.

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.

Pleasurably surprised, yet shocked it could actually be this easy - and I’m a tech nerd that has setup many home and business networks!

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthawk AX8 Phenomenal Router I have gone through my fair share of routers and this by far and away is the best router that I have personally used. I would highly recommend it to any user that is looking for the best speeds, user interface as well as some nice add-ons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from easy, stable easy to install and set up. has been fairly reliable as far as connectivity. have lost connection a few times and unable to see why through the app (because of the lost connection but otherwise, fine. also, contrary to some reviews out there - you can wall mount it. there are two spots for where you would mount on screws - no problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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

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/

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best I've Used 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from worth the money 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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!

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthawk RAX80 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!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

It was not the cheapest option out there, but so far it feels like it was worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

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.

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.

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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Insane Range! 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

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.

Despite multiple support requests spanning over a year, it was never resolved so my router security has been compromised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked for 4 months and stopped functioning. This is a garbage product with no longevity. If it won't work longer than 4 months, it may as well be a land-filling joke. That's one month past the 90 day warranty expiration, of course, so easy for netgear to write off as not their problem. Terrible product support, and wasteful manufacturing if you have to throw it away in so short a time. In the last month, it has been unable to see its own LAN ports without a whole router reset to factory settings, it has dropped packets and lagged on connections with half my devices. It has forgotten and renamed SSIDs for the 5Ghz network back to factory default, becoming unsecured in the process. It has required repeated restarts and screwed up work from my home office because of dropped connections.
