The AC3200 Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router from NETGEAR features 802.11ac tri-band Gigabit Wi-Fi performance providing one 600 Mb/s data stream on the 2.4 GHz frequency and two 1300 Mb/s data streams on the 5 GHz frequency. These data rates can be combined to offer up to 3200 Mb/s performance when used with 802.11ac compatible Wi-Fi devices.
Along with enhanced Wi-Fi performance, the Nighthawk X6 comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. You can also connect USB compatible devices such as printers and hard drives to either of the USB ports to make them accessible throughout the network.
Inside the Nighthawk X6 you will find a 1 GHz dual-core processor along with 3 offload processors, 128MB of Flash memory, and 256MB of RAM memory. In addition to the enhanced processing power, this router utilizes six high performance external antennas allowing the signal to reach farther than comparable routers. With Beamforming+ technology, that signal can be directed to specific devices for enhanced speed, reliability, and range.
With READYShare technology from NETGEAR, you can stream your media to a variety of devices such as game consoles, media players, smart TVs, and more. Simply insert a compatible USB storage device directly to either of the USB ports found on the back of the router and begin streaming all of your videos, movies, photos, and music. Along with streaming of multimedia content, you can back up your PC directly to an attached USB storage device using the READYShare Vault application.

I own a personal electronic repair business, and after having 3 techs from Spectrum and 2.5hrs of them trying to figure out what and how to fix our internet, we ended up purchasing the Nighthawk X6 and it solved all the issues with our WiFi. Glad we made this purchase.

Fairly easy to install and configure. Good range and excellent throughput. Has many great features that show somebody gave some thought to what would be useful to the end user.

I bought this several months ago and have had nothing but problems. Constantly doesn’t recognize devices and we have to reboot. All. The. Time. Hate this router and will never buy another NETGEAR again. We enter the correct password sometimes over 50 times and never accepts until we reboot. Everyday. Every time I leave my house. Buy anything else!!

I’ve owned a few brands of routers in my lifetime, and this one beats them all. The setup was super easy using the app, the signal is strong and I have no problems at all. I would highly recommend this router to anyone.

I had an 8 year old netgear router that I decided to upgrade to this. The old one was working fine, but after hooking up the new one, WOW! This thing is fast! It is Also very easy/quick to hook up. We are running about 15 devices on it now (A few streaming at the same time, gaming console, phones/iPads, AC units, security cameras…). And no problems at all. Time to upgrade my netgear modem (it’s also 8 years old), and I’ll be set.

I have had this product for about 4 months now and I have not had any problems with it what so ever! The signal never slows down and my internet works faster than before.

The Nighthawk R8 is amazing. Reaches quite far unless partitions (walls) are in the way of blocking the signal. So far I have no troubles with the router. Extremely easy to use and the app is straight forward. Installation was also easy.

The Netgear Nighthawk router is amazing. It is super fast and can run all my devices at the same time with no network speed problems. Setup is easy and the Nighthawk app makes managing settings a breeze.

The router did an excellent job with my 8-10 devices on the network based on a two-floor brick row house. Signal immediately improved as well over my last router.

So far this has been a great router. I had a 6220 and had a very weak coverage area. This R8000 doubles my WIFI coverage area and is much faster. Router is very easy to setup and monitor.
