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.

After install have no WiFi problems with dropped calls. Fell in love with my Nighthawk!!
Cristal Rosenbaum (verified owner) –
The 5 G range is not very good. I had to purchase extenders in order to reach 50 feet from the router.
Edmund Becker (verified owner) –
Router delivers good performance and signal coverage. A good choice to consider when looking to move to the later router models
Helen Will (verified owner) –
I would have liked the quick start guide to be more detailed. The on-line docs, although very helpful, were difficult to toil thru with the print so small.

This works great all around. Easy to fry set up and working
Jalyn Grimes (verified owner) –
1.2 gig link with 700 MB downloads. Love it. So many wireless on the router and no lag. Everything works!

Setting this up was a breeze. Just need your MAC address handy so that your ISP can get you up and running.
Briana Collins (verified owner) –
By far an amazing router. Cover all floors in my home! And even outdoors. Love the range it offers. Also love the app that they integrated with the nighthawk systems. Easy to use!

does not pass DNS queries through the cable modem to the IPS DNS servers

I have one streaming service, Dish Anywhere that keeps reconnecting and finally states NO internet connection, yet all other streaming works fine. This on all my devices. However, it maybe a Dish problem. When I check connection states very good and connected to the internet.

I previously had the nighthawk x6. It was great but needed more coverage. The AX12 provides farther coverage to the bedroom and can handle fiber Ethernet speeds far better then what I had before.

No one could tell me how to set up in my home. Your support group no help. I have dsl which apparently is incompatible.

This is a upgrade from google Nest WIFI with 8 points. Coverage on this is stronger and higher speeds! Love the design without antennas that make it look weird. Stealth bomber action!

From unboxing to setup and ease of use, this home router is exponentially faster than my previous 2017 model router with a larger network radius.

My New NightHawk AX12/12-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router, Wi-Fi 6 (RAX120) completely surpassed my expectations. Now I no longer experience gaps in WiFI signal around my house and it is providing me with a full strength wifi signal. My only concern is the lack of an instruction manual of some king to asist with installation and set-up. I am especially unfamiliar with the new security system that comes with the NightHawk in terms of determining which sites migh be blocked that I need to interact with and know not to be a thrreat. I will subscribe to the 24/7 support program that comes with the NightHawk. In short, the NH is a superb piece of equipment which I highly recommend. Donald R Ferrell PhD

Received a replacement router due to a defect in the original router. Support shows expired for replacement router. Netgear apparently does not support their routers after a defective one is replaced. This situation is unacceptable. I will no longer be a Netgear customer again!

Easy to setup. I have ATT 1gb connection and was worried it would be a challenge to integrate the Nighthawk into the network. It was the easiest process as the router changed the gateway settings on its own all I had to do was turn off the wifi on the gateway router from ATT. It recommended I leave the SSID the same with same password. I didn’t have to change any settings on the over 20 devices on the network and none had connections issues after the change either. I would definitely recommend this router.

Cut the cord with Verizon Fios and this routers was super easy to set up and use. I have 4 TVs, 2 iphones, Apple TV boxes and multiple laptops (work and personal) all plugged in with no latency issues or dropped signals. I would buy again
