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.

Had a AC1900 router before. This is night and day difference. No more buffering, random down times, just works great.
Theodore Jerde (verified owner) –
I like the router it is fast and reliable the only think that didn’t work was the sharing usb and the costumer service didn’t work.
Roxane Kutch (verified owner) –
wifi signal is relatively weak (compared to R8500) wan line connection is unstable (speed sometimes high and sometimes low)
Amiya Kuhic (verified owner) –
Too complex for my simple mind. Where were the instructions? For the money I spent I expected faster connections. Will probably replace it with another brand.
Eleazar Parisian (verified owner) –
Excellent router by far! Minimal to no lag during gaming and no buffering during streaming. Supports many devices at once with no issues. Well worth the price.
Winona Rempel (verified owner) –
Great piece of hardware, improved my signal strength and transfer speeds significantlyty. Works great with my note10 .
Isaac Murphy (verified owner) –
After struggling and limping along with a Linksys WRT 1900 at 1 mbs I picked up the Nighthawk AX12. Spectrum service is now pushing 117 mbs with 8 devices including: video surveillance, wireless printer, smart TV’s, chrome books, and 4 phones.

Every since I bought This router, I can See my speeds increase to where my internet doesn’t drop at my house. The speeds is fast like the test tells me plus I can See it on all the devices. We have TVs in every room, tablets, phones and an xbox and the speeds run phenomenal without missing a beat. I definitely Recommend this router!!!
Maeve Hessel (verified owner) –
Fast is an understatement. This has sped up my network in a major way. It also has a lot of user configurable options and extras. Well worth the money.
Alana Wyman (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.

30+ Wi-Fi devices and still going strong. I am not seeing any devices drop nor speed issues (using latest firmware) and I am constantly checking cloud security cameras and what not. The Wi-Fi range is great; I have a Wi-Fi garage door opener, washer and dryer, hot water heater and some cameras in the garage which is two flights of stairs down and they all have good Wi-Fi strength. I love that it has integrated parental controls using Circle and integrated Netgear Armor powered by Bitdefender. All in all this has been one of the best home routers I have used in 30 years.

Have C Spire fiber basic Wi-Fi router upgraded to nighthawk no difference
Gail Hills (verified owner) –
The RAX120 router has superior functionality and user control. This router increased the WiFi speed at all devices and reduced the number of drops that occurred routinely. It has a very good app-based control interface that permits some parental controls over each connected device. I also like the ability to plug in multi-gig LAN cables as well as this router’s smart feature that selects the best speed and WiFi convention for each device. Routers have come a long way and this one incorporates many of the current technologies.

Can handle all my devices and can even remote play efficiently to the PlayStation 5.
Johnathan Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
Excellent! It handles all our devices with uninterrupted service. Very easy to setup. I love this router and it’s easy to look at too!
Jon Romaguera (verified owner) –
I’ve been paying for 1,000 mbps for the best year and never once seen anything close to this number. Until I got this monitor! I’m getting unbelievably fast speeds 400 + on WiFi and 900+ connected! I haven’t had any issues with losing connection when I’m on my PS4, in fact I don’t even experience any game play lag! I love this router! Oh and it looks very cool on my desk as well! But to save space on my desk I went to ikea and bought a ‘lack’ shelf for this router so now it’s got its own little spot NEXT to my desk but still looks cooler then ever!
Abraham Dibbert (verified owner) –
It seems to work great but lacks features like dedicated signal to a certain device. Useful for gamers
Stacy Paucek (verified owner) –
I have wanted so much for this to be an amazing router (given the price paid for it), but it has really fallen below expectations. The biggest problem I have seen with this router is that every few weeks, the router just stops broadcasting on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and all of my devices lose connection. I then have to power cycle the router to get it back up. It has done this regularly since I have owned it.

Stop looking because this is the one your looking for. Its got everything you need and more. This has speed and all the coverage you need for your whole home,
Sage Halvorson (verified owner) –
I have 1G service and can’t seem to get speeds on any of my devices to attain even half of that. Average speed is in the upper 300’s to low 400s. Wired connections are great (800s-900s). I was drawn to this router because of the high WiFi speeds advertised, but I am now thoroughly disappointed and frustrated.
