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.

Easy to set up and enhanced my Wi-Fi speeds upstairs! Do not use smart network and combine your 2GH and 5GH, worst thing you can do!

The performance of the router is typically very good, with good coverage, and features needed for flexible configurations (port routing and triggering, DDNS, etc.), but the recent firmware updates made the app a requirement for remote management, and it has very limited remote management capabilities. Things like port forwarding, etc., cannot be adjusted, or even viewed.

This is one fantastic Cable Modem WiFi Router. It does everything you need it to do. The performance is outstanding. This is a much better Cable Modem Router than the one we were renting from Cox every month.

Adding this to my home WiFi network greatly improved the range of my network. No more dead spots in my house or yard. Nice!

I haven’t noticed much improvement using this WiFi mesh booster paired with my AX8 WiFi modem. The sad part is my house is only 2,500 sqf. When I run the speed test in my AX8 I’m hitting around 350mbps but on average my EAX80 is between 60-100mbps. I sort of hoped the whole setup (AX8 EAX80) costing around $900 would perform better together.

I upgraded and love the extended range! There not a dead spot in my house or 1/2 acre yard! Screaming speed, too!

When I decided to get a new router modem my previous one was about five years old. I spent about a week researching the different options before settling on this one. I’m very pleased that I have my download speed has been incredibly fast

This modem router combo works better than our old nighthawk seems to be more reliable. The setup was the easiest I have done and the nighthawk armor is amazing.

I love the thorough administrative features such as VLAN and the ability to use a vpn with it. The wifi speed is incredible, it gives me the full speed I get from the cable company. The wifi range is impressive too.

Netgear pushed out a firmware that bricked 45% of these routers. Refusing to admit it and making consumers jump through hoops to get a replacement. waiting 6 days for an RMA not sure if its just a bad product or an atrocious company.

Ever since setting the Nighthawk up, my internet speeds have never been better! The WiFi6 ability really improves connectivity, speed, latency, and jitter issues as well. Truly a stellar piece of equipment.

After cutting the cord, the Nighthawk Cable Modem provided us with a simple and powerful solution. The modem is easy to configure.
