We had an old Netgear router that was not powerful enough to cover our whole house. This one is great – no more dropped zoom calls.
Ena Yost (verified owner) –
After having to re-boot previous router at least twice a week… Neargear WiFi 6 router hasn’t stalled at all in the past two weeks. Great improvement.
Flavio Howe (verified owner) –
The Nighthawk AX6 is very easy to set up, reboot button for quick restarts, and easy customization for access. Combined with a Netgear modem, I have seen great performance for my home wifi. My only gripe is mediocre tech support. The range of this router has been far greater than my Spectrum issued router. It also allows more devices.
Neoma Hudson (verified owner) –
Replaced a Verizon router with this and couldn’t be happier. The speed is just a tiny bit slower but the range, holy wow the range is amazing. It’s been up for a week now and no rebooting needed unlike Fios daily reboot
Rosanna Thiel (verified owner) –
My nighthawk is exactly what I needed to reach every room in the house. Working great
Unique Braun (verified owner) –

Shanon Lynch (verified owner) –

Lavon Von (verified owner) –
Easy to install, great coverage for all of our devices.
Isidro Fadel (verified owner) –
Router was simple to setup using the app. Also impressed with the speed of my internet now that I have this router.
Petra Jerde (verified owner) –
I’m extremely pleased with my Netgear AX5400, it puts out WiFi signal to spare. My old AC1750 was still chugging along, but it wasn’t designed for computers, printers, cell phones, smart tv’s and more. I highly recommend all of Negears WiFi routers.

We looked into so many different routers, but the Nighthawk Ax6 caught my eye because of its power and price point. So far it’s been awesome, great distance coverage and protection. We are happy with our purchase.

As a retired network engineer from a major US telecom, I have extensive experience with commercial grade networking products. For a midrange home router the AX6 has thus far performed beautifully. It replaced an R7000 and there is a notable improvement in performance. There has been both improvement on the wi-fi side of the router as well as smaller improvement on throughput to the Internet side of the router. The setup through the Nighthawk was seamless and very straightforward. One of the reasons for upgrading was the support for WPA2-AES and WPA3 as the R7000 only supported WPA2-TKIP which proven to be less secure. I have paired the router with an EAX15 Extender replacing a pair of TP-Link extenders. The improved wi-fi coverage on the new devices has allowed me to eliminate a 2nd extender. Home is 2 level, 2800 sq ft condo. One thing I would like to see would be support for trunking and VLAN implementation. My place has structured Ethernet infrastructure with outlets in every room. My 4 Rokus are all connected via Ethernet back to patch panel and Gig switch and from there to the AX6. Being to create a trunk to the switch and then separate VLANs to each of Rokus would allow me to get everything off a flat LAN. Just a thought. Overall the AX6 has fully met my expectations.

Replaced old nighthawk R7000 with this new router speed has been great Wi-Fi has worked much better wired network can actually handle the king speed
Freida Klein (verified owner) –
Had a issued router through or internet provider. Worked ok. But was offer lagging and poor reach. Also did not have any security functions. I’ve been very impressed with the NetGear AX6. Range is awesome. Speed has increased dramatically. And for a family man, security is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommended.

I purchased this after learning I would be working from home. I have 5 children that also needed internet for school. This has made it to where we have fast running internet for all of us. The customer service rep helped me set it up and was kind and professional
