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.

Easy set up. I’m getting high speed and almost twice the distance of connectivity. Super Happy!
Ronny Medhurst (verified owner) –
I have been looking forward to owning this router since I first heard about it. It is not only aesthetically pleasing, but very functional! Of all the routers I have owned this has to have been the easiest and fastest to set up and install while also by far being the most advanced!! I look forward to the future of Wi-Fi 6 devices.

This router solved our problems not only with range but more importantly, the throughout and being able to manage multiple video conferencing streams and games running at the same time. Our house is a ranch style house with internet router stuck at one end.
Kyleigh Okuneva (verified owner) –
Easy setup and powerful. Have 46 devices and not one is offline. This unit is easily reaching every corner of my two floors. Hey Netgear, you produced a winner!

This router is fast as advertised. Looks great and quiet.

With the growing number of devices in my house my older Netgear Router was struggling. I upgraded to the AX11000 and all my problems vanished. The hardest thing was changing the Router name and password and that is easy. I have used Netgear for over 10 years and have never been disappointed.

This is the best router I have had. Stable and strong WiFi signal in my house.

Fast Powerful and stable, this router really steps it up over similar models… hasn’t missed a beat. Minus one star missing some features for an advanced user but otherwise rock solid upgrade!

Bought Nighthawk to increase WiFi distance. I now cover all 4 floors of my home and my yard. It has increased my speeds and as a really cool feature I now have the ability to turn off individual connections with my phone so my teens are not sneaking up all night playing Xbox.

This router replaced a recent (1 yr) Apple AirPort Extreme (AEX). The AEX was getting top speeds of 70Mbps on average with good signal coverage. After installing the RAX120, we consistently get speeds around 320Mbps (your results will vary). All said, this router transformed our WiFi into an extremely fast environment, is easy to set up (esp. with WPS), and simple to maintain. Highly recommended!

Upgraded from an old NH7000, which still works great. Speed doubled at start. Easy set up, great interface.

Easy to drop in as a replacement for an existing similar but older competitor WiFi router…says ALOT. I do appreciate the Nighthawk smart app more and more each day, bonus is the speedtest module. Fact: Oldest son now tells me the WIFI is XBOX worthy at 45 linear ft away from router and he doesn’t need a drop line anymore? I picked this WIFI router mainly for reviews regarding larger houses…I live in a 6500sq/ft single ranch style house with the router exactly in the middle and at worst I get 3 bars outside the house within 15 ft of the exterior…excellent for guests and plenty of range to the man cave garage and our outdoor entertainment area. I connect our streaming devices and XBOX to the 5G and all else to the 2G…works for our household, we have yet to experience a lag, spike or issue one might attribute to WiFi. Online registration and support documentation is user friendly and informative. We have 21 devices connected with 2 being hardwired.

Fastest home router with WiFi 6 but still affordable. Will be ready for the future and gaming. However, security and parental controls lacking compared to other manufacturers.
Crystel Gislason (verified owner) –
I was having trouble with my previous router — weak signal strength, drop outs while streaming, excessive buffering. Since installing the Netgear RAX120, I have excellent signal strength throughout my house and no drop outs with multiple streams (video and music). I am extremely happy with this product.
Juliet Green (verified owner) –
Use for gaming, streaming, and 4 devices simultaneously with absolutely no problems. Would recommend!
Jay Cartwright (verified owner) –
I purchased this router last month and could not be happier. I feel that my speed and range have at least doubled since my last router which was an asus for gaming.
Carleton Heathcote (verified owner) –
I have no AX devices, but my home has over 40 IoT devices and when my other Linksys Router would “wonk” out at least once a day. I have not had to restart my RAX120 since I started it.
Heloise Kihn (verified owner) –
I upgraded from a lower model when I increased my speed. Big difference!!!
Destin Little (verified owner) –
After testing and buying several routers, I finally found one that is bar none the best one out there. I will be recommending this router to all my colleagues.
