Boost your wireless network speed up to 5400 Mb/s total throughput with compatible devices by installing the Nighthawk AX6 AX5400 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router from Netgear. This dual-band wireless router supports the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard and uses OFDMA technology to communicate with multiple connected devices simultaneously across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With the Nighthawk AX6 AX5400, you’ll have the wireless bandwidth you need to stream 4K video, video chat, and play online games. Its four high-performance antennas use Beamforming to help ensure strong connections and long range, making it ideal for medium to large homes. The router also includes five Gigabit Ethernet ports, four of which connect to computers, gaming consoles, and other compatible devices. Connect an external storage drive to the available USB 3.0 Type-A port to back up and share data locally across your network. The Nighthawk AX6 AX5400 sets up quickly through the Nighthawk mobile app, and you can issue voice commands to the router through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Your network is secured with both wireless encryption and the Netgear Armor multi-layered cybersecurity system, which protects devices against viruses, malware, and other online threats.

Best router I’ve ever had. NETGEAR customer service prompt as well. Smooth sailing no matter what your needs are.

The Netgear RAX50 Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router is not a must-have but an easy choice. If you need a fast, reliable router for a small home with a sub-Gigabit Internet, this one is an excellent buy.

Easy to follow installation steps and easy connection in all respects
Elena Lind (verified owner) –
I had upgraded to the nighthawk from my n-Series router when I was needing a larger range with faster connection in my house. I needed a router that could handle more devices with uninterrupted speed. After some review I came to the decision on the Ax6. I trust Netgear for reliability and easy to setup interface and wasn’t disappointed. Thanks!

Netgear device replaces an older TPlink unit with noticeable speed increase and connectivity improvement.

Replaced an old nighthawk with this and couldn’t be happier. App is very helpful and easy to use for setup. Highly recommend.
Immanuel Runte (verified owner) –
Super easy to be up and running in a few minutes with lightning fast throughput!
D’angelo Reichel (verified owner) –
Router set up easily and works well within 75-100ft. Only issues is the wireless distance is not as far as my last router. Set up is also not great without a cell phone. If you do not have a cellphone with cell service to download the app, setup will be more complicated.

I bought a refurbished unit and was hesitant to do so. But the router practically set itself up (via the Nighthawk App). Just got Ting fiber, so I wanted a serious router for serious speed. Be sure to top this off with Cat 6 cable, for the fastest throughput. No complaints after two weeks. Would buy again.

We just installed the Nighthawk 6-stream WIFI router and easily connected our home security system and devices. It was a great value for the product!

With three adults and their devices, this unit is doing great,

Had somewhat of a hard time installing. Needed tech help to get everything completed, but still cannot access the 5 G connection.
Karen Mohr (verified owner) –
Advertised WiFi speed is more than 1gbps but I’m only getting 240mbps. I have 1gbps connection. Wired connection gives around 850gbps, which is not too bad. But WiFi connection even when my phone is right next to the router only gives 1/4 of the speed I expect.
Freddie Schuppe (verified owner) –
Had trouble streaming with our router. Added this one and no problems at all. Works great!
Brandyn Kirlin (verified owner) –
I bought this router to extend the WiFi system in my house. Since my other router is 4 years old (nighthawk X6 3200) I decided to daisy chain them using the AX-6 as my main router. Works like a charm. I only wish the construction of the router was metal instead of plastic.

Great product! Easy to setup, and the interface is clear to quickly setup your network.
Elmer Jacobs (verified owner) –
Quality is something we all look for when purchasing any product, however in this case when purchasing my netgear router I couldn’t have asked for a better quality given the circumstances of when I had to purchase it. Overall so far this router has been great! Thanks for all that you guys do with your products and services!

We purchased the nighthawk ax6 and it works like a dream.

1st, I use my own equipment instead of my ISP equipment. I had a Linksys and tech found it was the problem. I got the Nighthawk and it’ nailed the problem. I already had a Nighthawk system at my other house with great success, that’s why I made this choice. Extremely fast..

This router has been a well needed upgrade. It reaches most of my home and has provided consistent speed throughout. It is a great way to future proof your wifi network.
