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.

The router does a great job for the applications that we run and that’s several at a time

I knew I was getting the premium end of the wireless routers getting this but was blown away by the range and quality of this. After upgrading from my old Linksys router my range doubled, I’m able to get access out on my deck and by pool that my old router never reached.

Appears to be working well, was hoping for better signal strength on the wifi within the home, ie longer ranges.

I have used Netgear routers for years but as I am now working at home due to COVID-19, I needed a stronger router. I decided to stay with Netgear and went with the Nighthawk AX6000 router. It was so easy to set up, and I have not had any wifi issues since I installed it. Thanks Netgear!

Outstanding device! Integrates nicely in place of a FiOS G1100 router with Gigabit connectivity. With two working from home, two kids in distance learning, in laws staying with us, and most of us wanting to stream or use video I knew the old device wouldn’t cut it. I was pleasantly surprised with the integrated VPN server and USB for storage attachment. The setup was fairly easy, although I have enterprise device experience. You may need to call “that friend” for a little bit of help. Overall could not be happier, I would buy this again in a heart beat. That I can shut off my VPN and Storage service on my desktop was an added bonus. WiFi 6 WPA 3 great features!

It works out of the box. I was even able to get nest and lifx devices working without trouble.

This router was super easy to setup. I previously had a Nighthawk X10 and switching to this one was a piece of cake. I love it.
Rafaela Wiza (verified owner) –
I upgraded from my linksys velop mesh network where I was only getting upto 50-60mbps down at the main node to well over 450 consistently via WiFi and my wired speeds also went up from 400 to nearly 575. (I pay for 500mbps down) Very impressive upgrades. I wish the antenna arrays were more flexible or could lay flat for a wall mounted application. Design is kinda weird but kinda cool too.

I purchased the RAX200 as a replacement for my current router. It performs like a champ. No issues with installation or getting connected. I saw an immediate improvement in both speed and quality of life across the entire house. No more need for a remote access point for the far side of the house!
Eldred Schmitt (verified owner) –
I haven’t had speed like this. It like turning the pages in a book…
Quinn Funk (verified owner) –
The web page interface is not overly complex. All the basics and then some are present. I got it to work with an external disk to do Time Machine backups over the air. Which is a great benefit.

Since I have my new Netgear Wi-Fi router I have better internet access all my devices with less problems this is the best investment ever love it
Isadore Kuhn (verified owner) –
Needed wider coverage in our home. This did the job very well! Our home has Streamers, gamers and cell phones. So far never a glitch.
Delfina Renner (verified owner) –
I’ve owned many routers. I’m constantly on the search for a router that will supply the household with a strong signal and keep a fast connection. None have worked except this one. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to put an end to all their searching.
Bessie Schaefer (verified owner) –
Excellent range and great speeds. Awesome design no regrets.
Dolly Abbott (verified owner) –
Outstanding Router has the most coverage I have ever had at my 2500 sq ft home. Even in the master bathroom with all the walls and interference I have full signal strength. Fast speeds are maintained on all my smart home devices and the ability to see who is using what and who is on my network through the app is great.
Elvie Farrell (verified owner) –
I love the thorough administrative features such as VLAN and the ability to use a vpn with it. The wifi speed is incredible, it gives me the full speed I get from the cable company. The wifi range is impressive too.
