Home WiFi can be a difficult job. I’ve tried many different routers. This one did the job for my 3000 sq ft home.
Caitlyn Ritchie (verified owner) –
I think I like it. I do like the 5g port which I hooked up to my tv.
Krystal Thiel (verified owner) –
The RAX120 is performing excellent. There is no issues with speed or connectivity, except for my HP network printer that couldn’t connect to the router. I’m guessing my printer is just too old to handle the speed/bandwidth this router has. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase.

Works wonderfully, maintains high speed connection and has great reach

From WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 and extra security. I am on 930mb fttp previous smart hub 2 WiFi 5 was getting 11mb WiFi now WiFi 6 and getting 850mb WiFi and 1gb fttp. If you are using latest tech and u are using WiFi 5 router then u need to up grade router to 6 or 6e but make sure service provider supports 3rd party router this bit of kit is awesome my WiFi range has gone from lvn rm to now nearl 5 houses away I am streaming effortlessly in 4K

I purchased the item because my previous Nighthawk router finally stopped working after 6 years of use. I never had an issue with my previous Netgear routers in the past. I decided to finally upgrade my home with a new router and decide to stay with a Netgear product. I chose the the RAX200 router after researching several other routers and mesh systems. The type of internet usage that is being used at my home didn’t require my family and I to venture towards a state of the art router. The RAX200 was a perfect system blend of speed, functionality, and coverage for our home. The router has performed very well and beyond our expectations. We have had great quality of internet service with no interruptions or loss of wireless signal. The only displeasure I have is with the Netgear Nighthawk App. It has a reflection of an app that was just thrown together and not streamed to have a better communication or controls of the router. One example is when I try to manage my devices, it tends to not save the editing or will reset the changes back to their original descriptions. So, besides my discord with the Nighthawk App, the wireless router RAX200 is one of the best devices I have purchased in awhile and would highly recommend it to any of my family or friends. Thanks Netgear the great device!

Had to replace a one year old AC1900 after a lightning strike. Only a 1800SF house. Working from home has us with (2) laptops, Aruba phone system, 2 wired desktops, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones, (2) smart watches, 4 Apple TV’s, (1 tied to a full on wired home theatre with lots of switchgear), Denon receiver, and security systems. We hover between 20-25 devices as the day progresses. I used to be pleased with the 300 Mbps down/15 up. I had modest hopes this would improve the performance and I wouldn’t be disappointed for spending more. Wow. I’m now getting 850Mbps/45. I laid in hammock at the end of our backyard (~75′ away) and was getting 300Mbps on the WiFi only iPad running a Comcast speed test! The router is at the front of the house so it’s really ~90′ through 2 courses of brick and concrete block! Wired and wireless have seen a drastic improvement in speed, and coverage. I can place Bose portable speakers anywhere in yard and stream music. This router is savage!

Super quick setup and Wi-Fi performances are just great. Both reach and speed are top notch. I highly recommend this router

I have a 400mbps service, and the IP router just buffered so much. Had it changed several times. As soon as I plugged in the Night Hawk used the same login info all my devices connected automatically. The speed was astoundingly fast. Worth every dollar.
Madelyn Flatley (verified owner) –
Fast. Great coverage( Entire house and front/backyard)
Priscilla Schaefer (verified owner) –
A little complicated to setup but the speeds are great ! Support is decent but if you manage to configure it – you will get insane speeds ! Highly recommend.
Lavern Gutkowski (verified owner) –
I am extremely satisfied with the performance of my new router. I found it fairly easy to setup all of my devices and when I had an issue I was able to excess technical support quickly and had my problem resolved in minimal time. Streaming and down loads have been amazing. I give this router a five star rating. Very pleased with the service.

This router is powerful and reaches the areas that were hit and miss before. I comes with Netgear Armor which uses Bitdefender for complete protection on anything connected. I have the app on our cell phones and that does a great job.

Join this amazing product late, but it still rocks had to call them for a small tweak and the team was amazing too. Highly recommended

I upgraded from a less robust Netgear Unit and range extender, Mom was the lucky recipient of that. When I put in the AX12 the change was immediate. I have 1 Gig to the home and the previous Netgear was awesome, but this blew my mind. I have tried to test this for a bandwidth restriction and cant seem to find it. I can manage to stream 4 4k movies at the same time wireless and wired while watching Tik Tok, well my daughter, with no lag.
Kathlyn Haley (verified owner) –
I couldn’t be more pleased. Setup, features and operation are worth every penny. My home network and devices have never operated this well and the interface with the Nighthawk app keeps up to date informative and control at my fingertips. 5 stars .

Smooth and fast reliable connection for all devices…

With easy to follow app loaded in my phone. Replace my old router with NETGEAR Nighthawk in less than 5 minute and my old attached devices function without reconfiguration.
