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.

We have a 2200sqft 2 story house. The router is downstairs in the living room and the coverage is excellent everywhere in the house. Between the xfinity app and the nighthawk app, setup was really easy

I purchased the cax80 to replace the xfinity combo box I was renting. Although the provided setup directions were not clear to follow, I was able to set it up myself after a little effort. My wifi reception is stro ger, reaches further and prevented me from buying an extender. Highly recommend.

I was unable to use the app features of moving devices around the networks because the app continued to say it couldn’t connect to my main router even though the Spectrum router showed it was connected. Returning it

I live in a townhome and my office is at the forth floor. I pay 300m and the signal on my office was 15m, making it impossible to do a video conference meeting. Now with Netgear Nighthawk AX12 my speed is 311m, How can you explain that? I am so glad I have this router now.

All I wanted was to spread the wifi around my house with good connection speeds and that’s exactly what I got.

If you want a super fast router with awesome distance and for a bonus it looks like Darth Vader’s ship, buy it and you will not be disappointed. Setup was seamless as well !!!

With just replacing my old equipment this more than tripled the speed of my home WiFi. I went from 48 MPS to 179 on a 150 plan. I upgraded my plan and started pulling 600. Very easy step by step up in the netgear app.

Startup was seamless. I didn’t even have to involve my cable internet provider. Excellent speeds and Wi-Fi signal.

B & H was the only supplier who had this when I needed to order. It was a day longer than estimated but still arrived quickly. The range on the extender is more than I expected. Don’t even think about it B & H and Netgear you can’t go wrong.

This router is the best ever. I purchased another brand the day before took it back was not performing the way I desired exchanged it for this one and man oh man what a difference fast very fast the smart connect is the best where the router will connect the device tot the best path 2.4 or 5GHZ so everything it not on the same wave Netgear you get my vote for the best Router/Modem ever

Set up was NOT easy. Initially, could not get app to work. Ended up going online to do setup and then ran into a few issues. Took around 5-6 hours due to issues. Now, 10-14 days in, router seems to be working well. Appreciate ability to customize for my needs and like the WPA3/increased security.

I replaced Nighthawk Extender and this product does not have the same range . I will have to seek alternative solutions

I replaced a rented 2 piece cable modem and router from my internet provider with this one device. I am very happy with the increased speed and coverage I am now enjoying. Thank you Netgear!
