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.

Very impressive. This Netgear CAX80 cable modem router is delivering the performance and features for multi-gigabit internet. The setup is easy, and the companion app is a nice way to configure, view traffic and active devices.

Installation was very simple and finally I am able to get the full speed my service provider providing even on Wifi. I have a 1GB internet speed and on WIFI on AX12 am getting 941MBP when previously I did not exceed the 300MBP with old router

I love my new cable modem router combo. It is wonderful to have one piece of technology for both purposes. Unfortunately the 2.4GHz channel is unreliable, but the 5GHz channel is great!

Overall easy setup. Works well close to the router, but doesn’t completely cover our 2 bedroom (1300 sq ft) condo unfortunately. Had to add an extender which is very unfortunate.

Wifi in my farside of the house used to be non-existent and my voice in calls always had that robotic shrill. However, when I installed the extender, the Wifi in my room went from sometimes one or two bars to a full five bars all the time.

I’ve owned my new modem for 2 weeks now and so far it has been better than expectations. I normally have my modem and router as two separate devices, so I was a little weary at first. But all of that was blown away by the incredible speeds, reliability, and security this modem offers. I’m consistently hitting 450 mb/s on a 400 mb/s plan! If you’re on the fence about owning this modem, I genuinely hope this review helps. Definitely invest in this modem and you’ll see almost immediately Netgear backs this modem/router!
