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.

Set up was very easy, the house WiFi has improved dramatically since installation of the AX12. The app is intuitive and provides a tremendous amount of information what the WiFi is doing.

I have had the Netgear Nighthawk RAX 120 wifi router for about two weeks now, and it works better than my old router. I am very happy with what it does for us.

So glad I upgraded my Netgear Router. The AX6000 is a big improvement for faster connectivity and reliability. I do not regret purchasing this unit and spending more money for a quality product.

After purchasing this to supplement my XFinity internet service, I am blown away. Now, don’t get me wrong…I didn’t purchase a gateway from XFi, but rather, I paid for this modem router out of pocket and am impressed with the speeds plus control that I get from using it.

the range extender was easy to set up, connects with rax200 and two extenders and the rax are a perfect mesh

I upgraded from a less robust Netgear Unit and range extender, Mom was the lucky recipient of that. When I put in the AX12 the change was immediate. I have 1 Gig to the home and the previous Netgear was awesome, but this blew my mind. I have tried to test this for a bandwidth restriction and cant seem to find it. I can manage to stream 4 4k movies at the same time wireless and wired while watching Tik Tok, well my daughter, with no lag.

House is 3,000 sqft and the regular wifi signal has full bars everywhere in the house. The 5G connection is 1 bar short in the farthest areas in the house. Overall IMO thats great! I’ve always used the cable company’s routers, and this is significantly better coverage everywhere in the house than what I’m used to.

We were able to add a camera outside for our dog kennels. Before that we couldn’t even get a signal.

I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I get complements on how fast my network speeds are and everyone asks be “what’s that thing?”, in reference to my router. Great product, I recommend this item.

This CAX80 router performs worse than my 5yr old C7000 Netgear Blackhawk router. C7000 more stable

I recently upgraded my old netgear modem / router to the new Nighthawk CAX80. We usually have about 13 devices running in our house 5 of them are 4 K TV’s which we stream on all of them, and a playstation for online gaming. This unit runs them all at the same time with know problems. Worth the money.

This is a great router. Fast with good coverage. I have many wifi items in my house from light bulbs, cameras, switch, and 4k streaming devices. No issues. Little Pricey.

Hardware is very good, mobile app has room for improvement. Like option to disable/enable network for kids devices.

Easy setup with the provided instructions using the phone app. The nighthawk significantly expanded my wifi network and provides much improved connectivity through the house.

Setup and connecting some items was aggravating but eventually connected. Still not convinced it’s as fast as the Apple base station in my opinion. For the most part I am somewhat pleased with overall performance

A big step up from my old router. Easy to install and gives a great signal.

We were forced to upgrade our router when we found out the reason our old router was not working was because our provider no longer supported it. We were very impressed by the Up/Down speeds of this new router after debating spending so much more for the hype. I tell you what, it certainly lived up to the hype! We now have range into the basement, garage, and surrounding yard at full connection and speed with this bad boy. It eliminated any need for a mesh system, repeaters, or boosters as we had previously.
