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.

I love the fact that I am able to control my router with just an app.

I’ll always buy a Netgear, used them since the beginning and never had issues and the Nighthawk is NO exception..

I bought my first net gear combo 5 years ago and I still have it it still works but I needed to get a new one because times have changed and the world has change. So I had to get a new net gear one. I’m happy with it it’s has everything I want and needs for my new life.

Works like an up to date modem. Gaming is fantastic if your internet meets the requirements.

Needed to extend coverage for my Nighthawk AX6 router. After a false start with another brand extender I purchased the EAX80. The coverage and performance are outstanding and I would highly recommend this extender to anyone experiencing WiFi coverage issues. I only wish I would have first started with the EAX80 and saved some frustration and $$.

I went from a terrible Motorola modem-router that I had to buy on a shoestring budget to avoid paying a rental fee, to a multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router with the latest protocols for WPA 4 security. Now, no matter where I am in a 2-bedroom apartment, I have perfect fidelity for streaming 4K television or video conferencing with a host of other participants, even both at the same time. Netgear’s free trial of Armor was an add-on I wasn’t expecting to enjoy, and yet the intuitive UI lends itself to upgrading my own knowledge of cybersecurity; thanks Netgear!

Keeps shutting down and rebooting. Not sure if it’s a software issue or hardware

Tried repeated configuration to run a second (non-Netgear) router with wired connection to Nighthawk router. None worked. Ordered the EAX 80. Worked first try with minimal setup and extends access to over a half acre of lawns and drive.

After trying other brands and hours of frustration. I plugged it in ISP activated the modem I was flying. Configuring the router was simple. It’s a great product. No frustration, just satisfaction.

At first i was very skeptical on spending all this money on this router, but it was very easy to installed and activate through my xfinity app and the nighthawk app. It does take a little bit of time but it is worth it. Dual band works awesome and the range is way better than my Arris SBG6900-AC. Highly recomend this router.

Fairly easy set up but there’s a switch to turn off all but the power light and that should be on. Helps alot

Purchased this to work with my 1.2 Gb internet plan. Very nice to have 2.5 and 5 options. Plenty of bandwidth options as well. Well worth the price and very easy to install.

Like the combination unit. Solid base. Range is good . Like softer led display, lights not too bright at night.

This is the top of the line cable router modem combo that the general public can buy
