It’s hands down the best router money can buy. I’m constantly getting 500 mbps speed on my 1gig connection, and that’s Wi-Fi. Wired computer gets the 900 . No jitters, no packet lost and no lag in gaming. If you’re in the market for new wifi 6 router, don’t look elsewhere. Range is also no problem for my 1800 sqft apartment, no mesh required.

I’ve had my Nighthawk for about one and a half years. It has great WiFi range and doesn’t really ever drop signal. I did have an issue recently where the modem/router stopped working completely. Even though it was out of warranty, NetGear support helped to quickly resolve the issue and sent a new Nighthawk for me to replace the faulty unit. NetGear seems to stand by their products and the Nighthawk has been a solid purchase so far.

The setup was a little complicated because I tried to connect it to the app instead of connecting it with my provider the the router/modern is amazing I love it

The Netgear Nighthawk Mesh Range Extender was super easy to set up and covers all of our house. Great product.

I had another Mu-MIMO router, but it died, likely due to overheating. I purchased this one because it had a fan, which all modern routers should have, and had Mu-MIMO. I was not disappointed. The router takes a bit to learn what freq you need to be on, but after that…smooth sailing.

Great Netgear product! Easy to install, works perfectly with my Cox internet provider and increases my coverage throughout the house.

NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem with Built-in WiFi 6 Router (CAX80) combo is worth every penny with no disconnections or loss of service thus far. It is ahead of its time and future proof. Highly recommended!! I have 29 devices connected with 28 wirelessly via 2.4 mhz(20 devices) 5G(8 devices) without any lost of speed and connectivity. Super fast WiFi (WiFi 6) and very very strong signal 98% (Excellent) throughout my house a with a garage. Please check with your ISP provider for compatibility before purchase. This workhorse will not let you down. I have used the device for a week now with no problems. I highly recommend this product !

This router was a good replacement of my very old one. I get very good range and the full speed that I paid for even in the other room. Also the new software is pretty nice.

The product fulfilled all expectations. Easily meshes with router.

Have had to reinstall 7al times via the App since I kept getting the unable to reconnect to the internet msg. Once connected it seems to work.

I’m starting WFH soon and needed uncompromising speed. This router is able to manage my home full of smart devices with WiFi 6 while still consistently enabling 1Gbps throughout our home! I’m very happy with the product.

replace Motorola, open box go though instruction, lay out install per instruction, less than 30 minuts, my whole house running CAX80 300 mbps.

The router is very fast with strong signal, and very convenient APP. Very satisfied with the upgrade.
Alexane Zboncak (verified owner) –
Easy setup, my suggestion is make sure you download the nighthawk app and make sure you internet provider app is up to date before starting the installation process.
Irving Nitzsche (verified owner) –
Very easy setup. So far, the speed and range are great. No issues. Exactly what I wanted.
Enola Hamill (verified owner) –
This machine is fantastic, it is very very fast and has great range. I was able to set it up without calling my cable provider. Finally, it also saved me some space.

After purchasing Rax200 my confidence in Netgear was at all time high. Sadly this repeater pales in comparison. The set up was quick and painless but it doesn’t do well what it’s supposed to be doing. Both my 2.4 and 5ghz networks are being extended – but the speed is disappointing. I have a 1gb fibre connection. Rax200 covers the entire house so there was never really a need for that repeater but I still bought it because I wanted a few devices in the living room to be connected through Ethernet and I also wanted to improve the coverage in the garden. The range is impressive but I only get half of the speed I get with let’s say a mobile phone comparing to connecting it to my third band (additional 5ghz network) not being repeated by the extender. Without extender connected I would get steady 500mbps on my iPhone (not wifi 6) both in my bedroom upstairs (where the router is) as well as the living room downstairs. With eax80 in place connecting to the 5ghz network both upstairs and downstairs gives me around 250mbps. That’s correct. I could be standing next to my router – the very same one offering me 500mbps and still getting the slowed down connection. This makes me feel my phone is actually still connecting me to that band of my wifi through the repeater despite me being right next to the router. This is of course a deal breaker for me because it all amounts to spending money and actually making the network slower. I still hope that the premise of being able to be seamlessly transferred from router to repeater depending on location would happen with a future update. The way it stands now it definitely does not live up to the promise made in the marketing of the eax80. I would probably recommend it to people who have signal dead spots in the house because in that situation getting half the speed is better than having no coverage at all. For me the better purchase would probably have been their switch that I would connect with the router via Ethernet cable (I just didn’t want to drill the walls). It would have been much cheaper option with – gigabyte connection readily available for all the devices connected downstairs (tv, nvidia shield etc). The good: easy to set up The bad: only getting half of the speed comparing to connecting from the same spot in the house directly to a router, the premise of moving seamlessly between router and repeater depending on proximity is pure sci-fi Do yourself a favour and try rax200. Maybe you will find out that you don’t really need repeater in first place (one of my rooms had a really weak signal with my old Netgear router and now gets full coverage and speed – as long as I don’t try to repeat that band over eax80. Overall this repeater is a disappointment but I’m gonna let it slide on the back of astonishing performance from its smarter cousin – rax200

I purchased this Nighthawk for our business. The support team was helpful with installation and set up and our internet works much faster with no drop in service. Would recommend for other businesses looking to streamline their internet.

This modem router works as it should, easy to set up. I bought to replace old one that the security was no longer doing it’s job. This one has all the latest security.
