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.

Latest Firmware Version 1.4.3.88 has a bug with DNS. It has been there for months and there is no info from Netgear when this will be fixed. The firmware response and updates are very slow.

Much better than router supplied by my internet provider. Consistent 150mbs download speeds. Fantastic spam blocking.

It is a good router covering wide range and having multi channels. However I found that it was on and off freqently, which make us upset sometimes. Please check electric inlet to fix this issue in the fiture.

This router was recommended to us by a friend. It’s very fast and more than we had hoped for. We’re very happy with it.

This router worked far better than I was expecting in a the thick walled building I am utilizing it in. It replaced an entire rack mounted system, and the interface removed all of the headache associated with network management.

Updated my old modem and router To a Netgear Nighthawk CM2050V and the Nighthawk X6S router. Finally I can utilize the speed my cable subscription provides. The plan was for up to 800mbps but only getting speeds of 75mbps to 150mbps. Now I am reaching speeds in excess of 600 mbps. This was a huge improvement! I have no regrets making this purchase.

It has had its issues. But overall, it’s a solid router. It handles many devices here at home. I have to reboot it every once in a while and the range could be better, but so could everything. I am happy with this router. Always by netgear products.

My old router was struggling connecting all our devices to our Internet. As soon as our NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router (R8000P) was up and running those problems were a thing of the past! Plus the Nighthawk app is amazing! I can feel secure knowing I can control all aspects of our Internet safety in the palm of my hand.
