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.

Changed from Comcast’s Xfi router and modem combo to the Netgear Nighthawk cable modem combo. Boy what a difference! Not only is the internet speed phenomenal but now my family can all be on our devices at the same time with no delay in speed. I am truly AMAZED!

The great: Router is fast and stable, great set of features and options. Support was able to get my issue straightened out quickly. Documentation needs a little: Router must be initially set up using the “internet” connection, using the Nighthawk mobile app. Once set up, you can go to routerlogin.net to set up the “multigig” connection, switch the connection, restart everything. Would have been nice to know. Most settings worked with routerlogin.net on my desktop, not all. To reset the default wireless channels, modes, names, and update firmware, the website must be accessed through a mobile device – thanks Support! Again, would have been nice to know without a call. Ideally, i would like to do the whole setup from one place, website or app. Set this router up on clear channels and stand back! CM2000 cable modem is a great match.

Netgear’s Nighthawk app for this device made set up very easy.The device itself is very good. The features are quite standard these days. For me, this was a significant upgrade from my old A/N router from a decade ago. I am most impressed with the significantly improved speeds. I also appreciate the device management capabilities via the web portal and app; such as ReadyShare, Access Control, and VPN apps. Netgear knows how to make high-performance devices easy-to-use.It was at a decent price, compared to other devices on the market. This device should be future-proof, for quite a while.

We were using googles mesh system with constant issues. This nighthawk is a game changer. We have a multi level odd shaped house and now my wife is reachable all the way to the corners of my lot let alone inside the house! Highly recommend!!

Easy setup and installation. I like the Nighthawk app to monitor my network.

We had to upgrade unit as Coverage was an issue and Speed was changing through provider. Nighthawk fixed both issues. It probably took longer to install than normal – operator issue not device. Now that it is up and running very happy with unit.

Nighthawk did exactly what it was supposed to do and works great.

I had an extremely tough time trying to set it up at first. No matter how much research and troubleshooting I did, it didn’t want to seem to connect to my internet. I grew frustrated at one point and ended up leaving it alone for a few months, but I recently tried setting it up again. And now it works perfectly!! Although I struggled with the set up at first, this time around things went smoothly and my internet is faster than ever!

Replaced my rented Xfinity router/modem with the Nighthawk and I’m getting faster speeds and better range. Great upgrade that lowered my monthly WiFi bill!

So very easy to setup. After setup the control you have over your internet is extremely powerful. I feel much more secure about my internet connection now.

Love my extender. I have a large property and not only does it push the internet from the middle floor to the above floor and basement but I get it outside as well. And have many devices connected to it at the same time and it’s great!
