Description
Boost the speed and efficiency of your home Wi-Fi network with the Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router from Netgear. Equipped with eight internal antennas and capable of up to 6 Gb/s of total Wi-Fi throughout, this dual-band router supports the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless standard. Among the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 are multi-user MIMO support, which allows for multiple simultaneous data streams; OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) support, which helps to enhance efficiency and reduce latency; and target wake time (TWT), which helps to optimize the battery life of connected mobile devices.
The Nighthawk AX12 comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port that allows for multi-gigabit wired connections. Two USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports let you share printers and storage devices, while WPA3 encryption helps to enhance security.

This router was the easiest setup ever. It was a simple step by step setup that worked the 1st time. Great speeds output.

Outperforms hands down my mesh WiFi I replaced it with. No more dead spots.Feels great not having to add extenders or deal with terrible mesh handoffs when roaming the house.
Albin Strosin (verified owner) –
This is a very good router and I receive excellent internet speeds on the Wi-fi and Wired connections. The app for the router is very lacking though. There are none of the advanced features available through it and if you want a more in depth setup, you will need to access the router from a computer.

Replaced two Ubiquity Pro AP’s. Range is close to a hundred feet with no signal drop.

The router works as described and handles all of our devices with nice signal.

So recently upped my fios service to gigabit. Before I was running everything thru what Verizon…it was decent but we needed to use a range expanded upstairs because signal would drop. To eliminate everything and save money I got the rax200…honestly it’s worth the high ticket price, but make sure you unlock its hardware perks in administrator. The speed is consistent…my speed increases a little the further I went from the router, it keeps the signal connected and we were able to eliminate the range expander. Signal it puts out covers the entire house and more, really impressed with how well it keeps everything connected. Did have a few disconnects in the first day, however I think router and fios were going thru cycle. Since then has been smooth sailing…have roughly 15-20 devices connected at once. This router handles everything!! 3 c.o.d war zone games, streaming movies on Netflix on tv and laptop. Surfing internet and playing games on phone…does not miss a beat. Overall I am happy with stability and no need to run any range extenders. Do yourself a favor upgrade to the latest WiFi 6 tech and save money by not renting a router from your isp.

Signal reaches everywhere in our 3700 sq ft historic stone home from 3ft off the ground floor. No setup issues. No problem with 6 or more simultaneous users. Had one dongle on an ancient desktop that would connect but without internet. Swapped it for a different dongle and problem solved. Added a 4TB external drive using the online user manual after page 121. It connected to 3 PC’s so far using readyshare. The sync button logo is tiny; a padlock with ears – not like the symbol on our old router.

Order, got it brand new. Hook up and since 2 week. it keep offline and i have to unplug each time.

After reading many reviews, I went with the AX6000 to future proof my WiFi and range of WiFi I was looking for. What a difference a router makes. Easy to install and connect devices with reliable signal makes this router a great choice.

This router has perfect range for all devices and can handle many devices simultaneously without any interruptions. I recommend this router to everyone who has multiple devices.
Monserrat Swift (verified owner) –
I had wifi connection problem recently. After changing it to this router, it runs pretty well. I give it 4 stars because it has one problem. If I restart it, it stays offline every time. I have to reset it through my laptop so that it goes to online again.

Before buying this product my wifi speeds were slow and inadequate the fact is i was paying for 1gb speeds while only getting 100 and with 6 people in the house each with 2-3 products using wifi the old router we had was not enough. safe to say this product not only boosted our speeds but made the connection stable and less laggy

My AX 11000 is great … amazingly easy step by step instructions thru the app download on ur phone had it up n working in minutes!! It came with a free 30 day trial of “Armor” which immediately checked my devices ( computers, tablets, tvs, etc…) for any threats n gave me feed back instantly … I’ve noticed an immediate improvement in my wifi capabilities n it has been worth the upgrade!!

You can never go wrong with Netgear products! I love this. Speed is extremely fast and easy to use. What else can I ask for?
Katrine Lynch (verified owner) –
Been waiting for my local store to carry this since it’s release. The router is awesome. Easy to hook up.
Esta Mayer (verified owner) –
I love the new router solved my connection issues from basement and faster internet. Easiest set up of any router I ever owned.
Willow Daugherty (verified owner) –
I got this to try to run as my main router and bridge my network on other side of my house with rax120 via ethernet. I found the rax 200 gave me wireless speeds significantly lower than just using the rax120 as main router. Bridging the two was impossible and the app was a nightmare. I finally gave up, sent the rax200 back and bridged the rax120 with my old airport extreme. Now i have whole house coverage. Just not wifi 6 in half of it. Going to try adding an eax80 and see if that helps

Router works great and was very easy to set up. I’m a very happy customer!

My old router was having trouble keeping up with all the devices in a growing smart home. This router is able to handle them with ease and room for plenty more.
