Capable of throughput up to 6,000 Mb/s, the Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 Wi-Fi Router from Netgear supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), a wireless standard that allows for faster Wi-Fi speeds, more simultaneous upload and download streams, and greater energy efficiency for battery-powered wireless clients than previous Wi-Fi standards.
Equipped with four internal antennas, five 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet LAN port, one 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet WAN port, and a pair of USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, the Wi-Fi 6-enabled Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 supports OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and multi-user MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output) to deliver faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connections compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). The router also boasts a Smart Connect feature that selects the best Wi-Fi band for your devices, allowing for a single network name for both wireless bands, as well as voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

I have owned a lot of routers in my days, and this is by far the best investment I have ever made. My Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices no longer lag when gaming, everything overall on the network (even non- WI-FI 6 devices) seem quicker and more responsive. My ping is way down on my gaming. Love this thing!!!!!

My cable / internet provider rental modem was rendered inoperable after a storm no other electronics were affected so I was in the market for a new modem. I spoke with colleagues and they recommended the CAX80 it was also on the list of acceptable modems. This devices has great features including a downloadable app for smartphones. The speed is awesome 425 mps down and 54 mps upload

I have a very fast internet for a home. With a Gigabit service, you would think your provider’s router would have really good WiFi speed. I didn’t know what great WiFi speed was until I got this NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8/8-stream AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX80). What a pleasant change this has been.

Had to replace my old nighthawk because it was slowing down our speeds at the house. I got this new one and I’m getting 100mbps over what I pay for! So far this has been a fast and reliable router.

My Nighthawk CAX80 router is performing really well. I could not be happier with it. Connection is really fast and I love the readyshare feature. Thank you

This router replaced a very entry level one I was using with xfinity. The range is incredible, speed is far superior, and connectivity issues were extremely infrequent. I owned mine for about 4 months before it entirely stopped working. I called NetGear. Their support is overseas and I had a hard time understanding the rep, but she was kind and helped me troubleshoot it to the best of both of our abilities. It was quickly determined that it was faulty. They opened a warranty claim and I mailed it in. Their turnaround was quick and I am expected to have my new router delivered tomorrow. My hope, of course, is that this one works longer than the last one. I would rate customer support at a 5/5, router overall a 3/5 because of longevity of the first one. Overall, I’m satisfied and looking forward to having my new router back.

The installation was easy. The performance is excellent! The nighthawk app makes checking the status and running speed test pretty easy.

Although my first router seemed to have a slight issue with the power cord, the replacement worked flawlessly from the very first moment power was applied.

My house is over 3,200 ftsp the WIFI signal was very poor on the first floor. I decided to switch the equipment to net gear now I’m better off. Definitely recommend

I recently replaced a Netgear router with the new Netgear AX8000. The set-up was very easy and quick. You download the primary app from the App Store so it runs on your mobile device. Select the Armor set-up too – it will help keep your network clean. In my opinion, Netgear is the only way to go. I am getting exceptionally fast network speeds across a large home with lots of connected devices.

This replaced the useless junk optimum gave us. It was harder to set up than advertised, partially due to the cable/internet company optimum but also net gear tech support was not helpful. I almost returned it. Now it’s working well. The only issue is the option to auto switch between 2.4 and 5, when selected my laptop would not stay online, on for 20 seconds then off for 20 and repeat. I turned off the auto switch and it stays now, but now we have to manually switch which is dumb. Tech support couldn’t help.
