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 is a great router. Fast with good coverage. I have many wifi items in my house from light bulbs, cameras, switch, and 4k streaming devices. No issues. Little Pricey.

This product is truly amazing. It has extended my WiFi all throughout my home. I went from a 188 ping on my xbox to a 12 with just a few simple steps.

Love the app and easy installation. Only have had 2 weeks. Love that I can shut off wifi to connected devices in the app, good for the kiddos devices.

Outstanding router – simple set up. I did not need to compromise speed by buying a higher priced mesh router to get full home coverage!!!

We used this router to go from our metal building used for an office, to have WiFi in the house. The router works perfect and saved us from having 2 internet bills!!

I have a refurbished item. It works really well it is very fast and thier has been no lag with a very good signal in my entire 3000 sq ft home. My only complaint is the app. I dont think it is very user friendly and I also have an older printer that my new router will just recognize.

My wireless signal is working blazing fast through my home.
Euna Durgan (verified owner) –
Router is superb for gaming, and streaming videos, and web browsing. Easy to setup, does require the Nighthawk app for the entire setup process. Once you have it setup you will notice difference in your connection right away. I am very happy with the RAX120 definitely would recommend it for extreme gaming, or video streaming it will handle it.

The smoothest simultaneous device streaming I’ve ever experienced!. No buffer, interruption whatsoever. Best for large homes and heavy for streaming content

Setup was quick and easy to use. More granular options are available upon login through the web interface after initial setup. Performance has been great with zero issues.

I have had several WiFi routers over the last two years. With everything going to wireless, the frequencies are saturated. This router gives you choice of channels and helps navigate the problems with overloaded wireless.

Once the frustrating experience of constant reboots and hard resets ends and it’s up and running it will work….but don’t attempt to touch it. I actually bought the Orbi RBK852 and I’ve been 100% satisfied with it’s performance and reliability, but I got intrigued by the Nighthawk RAX200. Looks futuristic and has a few more functions than the Orbi, but extra features don’t equate to reliable performance. The RAX200 was a buggy experience at best. Speeds fluctuated and were often 200Mbps slower than the Orbi. It bricked 3 times over a weekend setting from reboots leading me to do hard resets. Often the app would not report the proper SpeedTest results from Xfinity nor was the app reliable when it came to reporting all the clients on the network. My concern about keeping this product is when power outages happen due to bad weather or firmware updates are sent out requiring a reboot it will brick. I went back and forth over the weekend testing the RAX200 against the Orbi RBK852. I used only the router on the Orbi and not the satellite for an fair test. Each time I disconnected the RAX200 and replaced it with the Orbi the Orbi booted up and worked without issue. Each time I reconnected the RAX200 it would brick. It bricked 4 times out of the 6 times I reconnected it leading me to do a hard reset and go through the setup process again. That’s too much hassle for today’s tech. Obviously not good firmware. I returned it. The grass may look greener from awesome advertised specs but the reality of reliability and performance just don’t match. Not a good product. Unless you need specific features on the RAX200 and are willing to deal with the many issues then get the Orbi RBK852. You won’t be sorry.
