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 is an amazing device, easy to setup (almost nothing to do) and easy to use. But where it really shines is speed, speed, speed. We have 45 devices in our house and this has made a huge difference in performanace.

Samsung S9 will connect to WiFi but will not have internet access. When I factory reset the router, my phone will connect with internet for a few days before losing the internet again. My R9000 router at home does not have this issue.

I was struggling to find a way to better my wifi. I had done ton of research and came down to this wifi router. I have super fast wifi throughout my house now. I haven’t had any problems with it so far.

Great product, noticeable improvement over our xfinity gear and easy to install and use.
Amir Dietrich (verified owner) –
Has a lot of speed. Response quickly, and the connection is very rapidly.

My husband and I recently switched our ISP and signed up for a higher level package. Our old router (also a netgear router) couldn’t support the speeds so we made the investment in our nighthawk and wow, our internet is incredibly fast and never slows down. The router was also very easy to setup. This is by far the best router I’ve ever owned.

This router is absolutely perfect. Every device in my home can now connect to WiFi at once with no issues. Streaming movies in every room all at once with no lags or buffering. All while everyone is surfing on their phone tablets chrome books and laptops. Gaming, unbelievable. This thing is the best! A little pricey, but like everything else, you get what you pay for! Perfect!

it’s the best in the market! if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired of your xfinity, att&t non-ethernet service (poor connection, connection cutting in and out, etc.) switch to this and get an ethernet wifi service using fiber technology (i.e. google fiber)! you’ll wish you’ve done this sooner!!!

Easy installation and set up. Significantly improved everything about my Wi-Fi network, speed, signal strength, etc. couple glitches with the app, but nothing catastrophic.

As a IT engineer I had a chance to use many modern routers in my household. This one is in one of the best I had so far. Software is nice and everything works smooth.

very satisfied with the AX12 Router so far. Easy setup very fast speeds and the range appears to be very good
Arvid Pollich (verified owner) –
Like what others have said this router is plagued by intermittent rebooting. Longest time I had without this issue was maybe 4 hours. Not only will does it drop your connection and reboot, but will continually do this until you disconnect power. Too many dropped MS Team meetings for me. I loved the speed, setup was easy but reliability is null.

I finally got rid of old apple router and went with this thinking it would future proof my needs–at least for a while. Worked fine for about 2 months, then kept losing connection on 5ghz band…now unless I’m standing next to the router I can only get 2.4GHz…5GHz comes in for a few seconds and then gone…totally frustrating

We have the best range with this router. Prior to our purchase of this router, we needed a router and extender to have throughout the house coverage. We have many devices connected and still get very high up and downloads. Best decision to purchase this one!
Mike Grant (verified owner) –
The only thing I am having an issue with is the coverage in my home and connection issues. It’s supposed to cover well more then my home and is having trouble doing that!
Theron White (verified owner) –
This router has far exceeded my expectations This the first router that actually does what it claims to do. Love it. Very pleased
Beatrice Boehm (verified owner) –
Reduced the dead spots in my house/office. I cover 3600 sq feet with this device and get great Wi-Fi throughout
Noah Metz (verified owner) –
I don’t know. Maybe my Cox internet isn’t good but it keeps cutting out and I didn’t have that with the cox issued router.
Cora Casper (verified owner) –
Very powerful router, It’s everything as advertised to be! I would definitely recommend this router
