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.

Great WiFi router with the coverage I need for the entire house. Working from home since March 2020 and needed a more reliable WiFi router. Would give it five stars however been getting drops from my daughter’s PC over the WiFi. Ordered a new WiFi USB adapter to see if that is the source of the issue. Overall, I am very pleased. Hopefully the new adapter will fix the issue.

We replaced the modem/router provided by our cable company with the Nighthawk CAX80. We no longer lose wifi signal in bedrooms, and signal is stronger, more reliable and fewer drops

The EAX80 has amazing range and speed. The one thing I like the most is that it gives me the ability to plug my computer directly to the extender. I am not a big tech person and this is why I think the installation instructions can be a bit better. Other than that it is amazing. Money well spent!

My Nighthawk changed my life… literally… I’ve been using my provided router from my internet company for years! It would take me 10 minutes to upload one file to Dropbox to send to my clients… now it takes three seconds max! The amount of extra time I have on my hands every day is incredible.

Really happy with this modem router combo. We have the 1200mbps plan from Xfinity and purchased this to save us money from renting a cable modem. No disconnects or any issues to report.

After trying several extenders, I finally have wifi coverage throughout my old house with plaster walls. It seamlessly connected with my router and I love the Nighthawk app!

Unit took a little work to get setup but is working fine so far. I have had issues keeping my 2.4GHZ wi-fi security cameras to stay connected and am considering replacing with 5GHZ.

I had no issues with this cable modem router combo. I like that there has not been any drop offs while viewing my social media sites and the Wi-Fi range is fantastic. I can walk to my mailbox and still get a signal three buildings away from my apartment. Only issue was it is expensive.

Love the speed. I no longer have issues with buffering when multiple devices are on the system.

I was hesitant at first because I thought getting router instead of renting would diminish my quality of service. No regrets with this router

Was hesitant to buy a modem/router and so glad I picked this. The range from my xfinity rental to this is night and day. I have wifi through my whole house and my property. My security cameras all have full range. This will not disappoint

The performance of this router is as advertised and excellent for our household needs. However, the setup was far too complicated and the Nighthawk App software turned-out to be the source of the problem. After setting-up the router using a direct browser on my PC, I deleted the Nighthawk App from my phone and then reinstalled it. After that, all worked well, but the App still occasionally gives false indications about the router status.

The range listed does not go out that far as advertised.
