With tri-band functionality, the R8000P Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Router from NETGEAR is capable of supporting connected clients on the single 2.4 GHz frequency or either of the two 5 GHz frequencies. The single 2.4 GHz frequency supports data transfer rates of up to 750 Mbps while the 5 GHz frequencies support data transfer rates of up to 1.625 Gbps to handle bandwidth-intensive tasks such as streaming multimedia content, online gaming, downloading large files, and more. The Nighthawk X6S also supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi network standard with a total Wi-Fi bandwidth of up to 4000 Mbps. If a wired connection is needed, users can connect Ethernet-enabled devices to any of the four Gigabit Ethernet ports for a reliable wired network connection.
The Nighthawk X6S features MU-MIMO, or Multiple User-Multiple Input, Multiple Output technology, making it easy to connect multiple devices to the router, each with its own dedicated pathway to the network. In addition to MU-MIMO technology, the Nighthawk X6S also supports cloud storage functionality. Simply connect a compatible USB hard drive to the router’s USB port and access your files using the ReadyCLOUD mobile app or web portal. Managing your network has also been simplified thanks to the NETGEAR genie App which offers a variety of management tools as well as the ability to remotely manage your network when you’re away.

I have had the router for almost three years. No problems so far. I found the Netgear community q and a to be hard to search for answers to questions about the router.

If you are looking for wifi speed, long range wifi, look no more.

I bought this router for more wifi connections and better speed/range and thus far it has met or exceeded my expectations. This router is excellent and with the proprietary app for the control and support of the router makes it even better.

This has worked well for many months, and now there seems to be a continuing and known firmware issue. Once the problem was apparent, I was forced to rollback 4 or 5 firmware versions to get back to a version that works without the DNS issues. I went thru the whole process of upgrading my support so Netgear would actually help me fix it, and they could not. They just kept saying, “see it’s fixed now” and it clearly was not. They just did not want to refund the support fee I just paid. I would not recommend this product.

I have 30 smart devices. The nighthawk stated it would be named as the old router and switch over to avoid configuring my devices. It didn’t. Also It frequently shows unable to reach a URL until a second later it reveals the page. Never had that before.

It does well, but it seems to be hard to pick up by the cell phones across the house, and it is only a 1400 sf home.

We purchased this NetGear Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router and it cleared up all our issues and helped us control how much bandwidth each person gets and etc! Neat tool for your set-up!

A router that meets the high standards for WiFi enabled devices that is extremely easy to setup. Very intuitive interface. Had it setup and running in mere minutes. Piece of Cake

I have had faster speeds and less connection issues after replacing my standard Verizon router. So far it reaches farther.

Great router in every way possible. No dead spot in my house anymore and I get to use my maximum speed given by my provider!

It does everything I need from a router. I have to restart it every once in a while, but that’s normal for most technical devices. It handles all of my needs very well

Reasonably priced as the tech is several years old. Pushes a signal throughout my2 story house and allows streaming 4k on the other end downstairs. Setup was simple thru the app, and controlling and naming the different channels was simple thru the web.
