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 very fast router easily able to handle the 1 GB/s service in our home. It is a mesh router and Wifi-6 compatible thus future-proofing the network. The app allows excellent configration and control.

I have connected many routers and this was (by far) the easiest installation. We immediately noticed a significant increase in speed across all connected devices. Highly recommend!

Decided to upgrade my Orbi network to something that supported Wifi 6. Instead of going the more tradtional mesh route with a WIFI 6 Orbi I decided to I wanted something that could also help with gaming and speed on the LAN. I liked the 5Gb port that allows my NAS to have more bandwidth. Also I have Google fiber with 1Gb internet speed. This router does a great job of taking full advantage of the fast internet speeds both up and down. Wifi 6 works great and has helped my smart home devices stay online even while wife and kids are streaming TV, movies or playing or video games.

I bought this to replace an older 802.11AC router. Major improvement in every way possible. Eliminated bottlenecks when streaming from multiple devices. Better range, especially at 5GHz. Better security options. Plus, Netgear app is a great feature.
Vito Rath (verified owner) –
It is one of the best routers I have ever gotten to use and I love the mobile app so I can test Internet speed and reboot if necessary. I run over 45 devices on it and it has been flawless.

The Netgear Nighthawk plus the Tru-Band WiFi Range Extender was exactly what worked with our iAquaLink pool controls. They other system did not work.

I am returning this because it’s not better than my XR500. I thought this would be an upgrade since the price is higher. I bought the Orbi mesh system instead.
