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.

My wife and I work from home, and it’s been rather frustrating to have shaky wifi. This device is expensive as all similar devices are, but really good at what it does. My internet speeds are up 25%. And as a bonus, I can tell within minutes what devices are using the wifi. Have not tried the security software yet but considering it.

I live in a long ranch style home. Upgrading to the Netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem Router combo provides a strong wi-fi signal throughout my house without having to use boosters. Great product and customer support was fantastic!

It’s expensive. Let’s all just admit that. For this price I was expecting to see speeds that put all else I’ve ever experienced in my life to shame…. And it’s good…. There’s just not many options or features that you get to play around with/customize for something that costs this much. Hardly any features, to be honest. My biggest complaint is the Nighthawk App. Mine is always telling me I’m under attack and that it cannot find my router to connect to and has me reinstall everything!

Great router for a smart home. Setup multiple channels for grouped devices. Allows for optimized signal for higher bandwidth devices. Awesome range for devices in the yard.

Not only does this router look very sleek, it is packed with features. I would recommend this to anyone. It sits in our basement and our kids can access wifi from two floors up. We love it. The app gives us control on our phone, an added bonus.

So far this router has been really great. I wanted to future-proof are router that way in case we ever upped our data speeds we have a router that could keep up.

WiFi speeds very inconsistent, I spent hours on the phone with tech support. The problem was escalated and someone was supposed to call me back, that never happened. They didn’t care to call me back so I returned the modem. End of my bad experience.

I was concerned spending this much on a new router, but it was worth it. It tripled my speeds. Setup was very easy. The app is dope too.

This unit took care of all my internet issues love it
Blanche Bernhard (verified owner) –
My previous router was outdated and not able to handle the gig speeds xfinity was giving me. After the quick and easy install/setup I immediately saw my speeds increase. I have never been more satisfied with a large purchase than I am with this. My entire house is now covered and the Netgear app is hassle as well. MUST BUT.
