I purchased the AX6 to replace my nighthawk AC 1900 router that we have used for years and I am so pleased! I went from getting around 50-100 mbps download and upload to early 1 gig down and up! I also love the Nighthawk app that helps me keep track of everything going on in my home network. Well worth the money spent! We have a constant 12 devices connected and nothing has any lag or what we call “the spinning pinwheel of death” or the loading icon anymore. I couldn’t be happier!

Easy set up, was using older generation of Netgear modem and was able too keep all devices with same network name and P/W
Linwood Gottlieb (verified owner) –
Easy to set up and is working great! It gives us consistent speeds. I can connect from the other rooms with no problems.
Winnifred Hickle (verified owner) –
Excellent, great price, was easy to install. Much faster than my previous router. Very pleased that I made the decision to upgrade to this.
Cody Schoen (verified owner) –
Best purchase I have ever made. It pushed my speeds from 300 to 900s. It’s incredible! Thank you
Eve Bogan (verified owner) –
Impressive range, great speed and easy to set up. I have over 10 devices including security cameras, phones and streaming TV and wifi6 performance shows no interruptions. Use the USB por t with memory stick for internal backups.
Louie Yost (verified owner) –
Upgraded from an old net gear router only capable of a snails pace. This thing screams! Amazing. Exactly why I always choose net gear and never buy anything else!
Maximilian Tremblay (verified owner) –
Our house has two routers, each on either side. We are receiving 800 mb/s down and 800 mb/s up over Wifi which is almost comparable to ethernet, especially since it has been reliable.
Joshua Wilkinson (verified owner) –
I really like this router. It’s substantially faster than any router I’ve owned previously.
Rafaela Spinka (verified owner) –
Installing process fairly easy. Needed to have to have support to enable function to the printer. Tech support good.
Lambert Medhurst (verified owner) –
Purchased it for the wifi 6 capability and for a huge upgrade from our previous one. Made a huge speed and range improvement. Very simple to set up and the app is super helpful and user friendly!
Soledad Kutch (verified owner) –
Easy setup and performance is fantastic compared to the Netgear R7000 that I bought 5 years ago. Really happy with the upgrade and ease of swapping the units. Was up and running in less than an hour.

1800 square foot house, 3 level home. The router is in basement, I have no dead zones. Very easy to set up.
Adolfo Gleason (verified owner) –
Immediately could see the difference in speed access to internet service. We had problems before with too many devices slowing down workload speed at home.
Wyatt Balistreri (verified owner) –
The router seems to be doing a good job handling my wired and wireless networks. In fact, a much better job than the one from my ISP. Range on the wireless is great and reaches from end to end in my 2100sqft home. The only place I feel something is lacking is the app. No landscape mode on my iPad Pro?? Lots of “things” to click on but I don’t feel they are adequate explained or called out for purpose and why I’d want to use them. Overall this router is doing an excellent job but I feel let down by the supporting software.
Yadira Kihn (verified owner) –
the RAX50 pleasantly surprised me. it’s range reaches every corner of my home with strong signal.
Viva Pollich (verified owner) –
I’ve had this router for 6 months now and I’m really impressed with it and the quality of it. The speed is amazing and I have 37 devices hooked up to it and they all still are going great. The app is really handy to access all of the options that this router offers. If you are on the fence about purchasing this router you will not be disappointed if you purchase this one.
Helene Crooks (verified owner) –
Upgraded from a Linksys and immediately went from an average of 50mps to over 150mps. The Nighthawk is an excellent router with great coverage of my 2500 sq ft home.
Wilburn Strosin (verified owner) –
My streaming video call quality has improved greatly after upgrading to the nighthawk ax6
Reagan Carter (verified owner) –
I am very new to this product but so far I have to say it has boosted our internet to speeds I have never seen before, the set up was super fast and easy, took me a total of maybe 5-10 minutes to set up. Would definitely recommend this product
