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.

Router was defective not sure what was actually wrong kept dropping the Internet spent six hours on the phone with tech-support After which they told me to return the product. Honestly I’ve used Netgear products over 15 years now and that’s the first time I’ve got a defective product. I was disappointed with all the trouble I had and the fact they would not compensate me or Discount substantially another unit, therefore I am going to try a different company’s router as I feel I’ve been a loyal customer of theirs and when I had a problem that cost me a true hardship they would not stand by me other then to say sorry. My time is valuable and my kids needed that router for school due to COVID. Not happy.

Exactly what I needed for the limited space I have. Once is setup works like a charm. The difficult part was getting the modem up and running. Spectrum could not help but I managed to get through. In fact, the automated modem replacement utility tool works very well. However, you need to reboot both the computer and the modem/router combo after the utility tool confirms your modem is connected to the IP provider and the MAC address showing in the display matches the one of the CAX80. Unless you go the reboot process the setup will not smooth. After you do, then everything will go smooth. It would be great if Netgear advises to perform the reboot process in a section of the setup guide or tool utility. The IP provider won’t be able to help match unless you are lucky enough to reach someone with troubleshooting experience.

Works great. I have all brick walls in every room and was amazed it extends as far as it does.

Good for speed but gets hot could use a fan or something to draw out heat. Maybe the design could be changed for better cooling. When combo gets hot internet gets choppy and laggy. Using multiply tvs and gaming systems tablets and phones at once.

This is a very good product. High speed operation once it is set up. For some reason it is difficult to connect directly to the router using cables. It keeps going to the internet page instead of connecting to the router itself. Smart phone application works but has some glitches.

I have this tethered to my Starlink router because the router is pretty weak in power out. This extender gives me outstanding coverage out to about 3500sq ft. Highly recommend.

This was SO easy to setup using their Netgear app. All the relevant information is on the device, including the MAC address that cable company needed to connect as I rented my former modem from them.

Buying a new router can be so intimidating, especially if you are not a technical guru. The 3, yes literally 3, steps during set up make that worry go away. Being able to quickly install this and get everyone back online was amazing. I would recommend this for anyone who deals with dropped calls, slow loading internet sites, and multiple users in your home. LOVE LOVE LOVE this router.

This router/modem combo was a bit pricey. I went ahead and pulled the trigger because my last netgear router has lasted 8 years. The performance is excellent. I really love the security and features. There are many custom settings on this router which I like. I would purchase this one again.

The EAX80 extender was very easy to setup and the performance is excellent. Would definitely buy again.

I used this to replace another router. This is much more intuitive the set up was done right from my phone and walked me through it. Super easy. Like the phone app and it’s speeds seem good so far for my home and property which is a few acres and over 4K sqft. Happy with my purchase

Bought for 5th wheel that sits 100 feet behind the house and it works great

After 2 years I finally was able to get my TV from the “Florida Room” connected to my network without having to use an extender. There are now 4 computers, 2 printers and 3 smart phones on the network and all are protected behind the modem/router and all are getting exceptional up/down-load speeds.

Definitely better than renting a router from an isp.

I’m no expert but I’ve only been able to sustain an internet connection for about two hours at a time. I don’t have time for this. My kids can’t do their homework.

I’ve did research on many models and this I was worried about it cuase price but after I stall with xfinity or Comcast this system is totally worth the money. I can go anywhere in house without a bar drop. I love it
