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 used to have the one you rent from Comcast but this is a huge step up. Not having to pay money monthly. Wifi is stronger throughout the house and faster. Even wired connection is better.

Booster works great but the Nighthawk router is a total waste of money. Bought it to replace my old one and the old one works way better.

This router really does the job! The up and down speeds on the wi-fi side are just as good as wired!

This thing is awesome, we upgraded our previous Netgear router and based on speed tests we are finally getting the speeds we are paying for.

Bought this alongside a Nighthawk router for a much needed 2022 update. With most wireless tech, I always expect set-up to be frustrating and take a few tries. But everything just worked when setting up the EAX80 extender. The unit itself is elegantly styled, and the Nighthawk app is quite good and very easy to use. Most importantly, our wireless is very fast and stable. Happy with our upgrade to Wi-Fi 6.

I expected much more wi-fi stronger coverage from this router. The router ( AC 3200 Tri_Band Model R8000) I had was working fine but wanted, and expected, much more from the new one (AX6000).

Set up was a little more involved than I would have thought but it performs fantastically, has a cool name and blistering speed!

Great router modem combo that is very easy to set. Range is excellent for a 2400 sq ft home. Many devices can connect at one time all with great signal strength upstairs or downstairs.

This NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem WiFi 6 Router Combo is great. I’ve been purchasing NETGEAR modems or routers for years and they never let me down. When it comes to quality and reliability, this is the way. I had to update my combo modem and router to achieve my faster internet needs since I had it for years and recently bought this Nighthawk CAX80 Combo and I am pleased to say it was a great choice in my part and happy to see NETGEAR continues to deliver such well made devices. If you want to save some space and have a built dual system and still have that unstoppable performance then this is a great choice. Thanks NETGEAR.

The connection speed was great but it would keep disconnecting so that was concerning.

This Router WiFi combo looks like it fixed my problem! It’s only been a week but my on and off internet has been on senses I’ve replaced my older Arris combo and the speed is amazing.

setup was much harder than expected. Made call to netgear and chated for a time gave up and then the support person sent me an e mail and with some more multiple tries I finally won. Now I am a believer and really recommend the unit!!!

It’s convenient having just one device as a combo and the sleek design is a plus. The performance has been fast and powerful. Super happy with it!

I just recently got this extender for my house. It seems to be working fine. I do notice that Wi-Fi in my bedroom (the farthest away from my Wi-Fi router) is working better than before.
