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.

This Nighthawk modem increased my pc from 75 mbps to 335 mbps and my wifi from 30 to 105. You might need to keep a fire extinguisher handy with this unit. Very pleased and easy to install.

Unit works great once setup but the app directions would not let me complete the setup but the web browser did.

I have been eyeing the CAX80 for some time as an upgrade to my C7000v2. The time came as the C7000 gave up the ghost and stopped working, so I pulled the trigger and should have pulled that trigger a while ago.

For my house with a basement and my room on the 2nd floor all three levels have excellent cover and no issues with the net speeds

It’s a little tricky to install at first but it’s wonderful keeps up the high speed and sends the signal out really far.

I had been under the impression my internet was slow due to all the devices using it. I got a faster internet service and then bought this. Neither have changed anything.

I was trying to fix some bad wifi spots in my home but was unsuccessful. I tried google wifi mesh but was still not able to get good speed. Finally tried the nethawk extender and it resolved my issue. I have good coverage throughout my home now(approx 3600 sq ft)

It covered my whole house, 2700sft. It is the best router I used. Never need a range extended. Fast, reliable,powerful!!!

Straight forward installation. Easy to follow instructions (both iOS iPhone app and client from Mac). However, the iPhone app still needs work (loses connections, is slow, etc.)

Nighthawk AX12 router is great. It provides a reliable connection throughout our large house. The AX12 replaced a previous router that did not have the range and speed of this unit.

Needed a modem router to avoid the ISPs monthly rental fee. The Netgear CAX80 provides excellent coverage over my entire house, including the garage, and was very easy to set up.

My 8000 is in my home office which is in the far north corner of the house. The family room with the ROCU is 4 walls and 50 feet away. The reception was only good enough for 1080 viewing. I added the halfway between and we now have 4K witheout issue.

It’s not bad but I feel like for the price should work further.

While I have heard mixed reviews of this router in the past, for the month I have had it it has definitely improved my internet.

Great device with easy set up. I have great range throughout my home, which is very important. I would definitely recommend this router/modem to anyone needing higher internet speeds.

I am not able to speak about any of the features of this router as it never worked. As another reviewer wrote (I didn’t read until after I had purchased) this does NOT work with WOW! Internet. After 8+ hours of trouble shooting and multiple calls back and forth between WOW! and Netgear. Where WOW! is saying it is a Netgear issue and Netgear telling me it is an issue with WOW! And After two brand new units I was not able to get this item up and running. Returning this asap and will be exploring other options as this is essentially a paperweight at this point.
