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 was so surprised and satisfied knowing that my NETGEAR motum had had an integrated router all in one package. The installation was as easy as 1 2 3.

This is an amazing device, easy to setup (almost nothing to do) and easy to use. But where it really shines is speed, speed, speed. We have 45 devices in our house and this has made a huge difference in performanace.

Upgraded from my old modem and separate 300mbs wireless router to this all in one 600mbs combo unit. Easy set up, works great.

Took some time to setup, but works great. I have a barn about 160 feet away with a repeater between modem and repeater. Had weak signal with old router, much stronger signal and all barn devices pick up signal

Easy setup with Spectrum. I have a 400mb connection and the ethernet clocks in at 460. Along with that, my WiFi went from 230 or so to also being up around the 450 mark, which is just insane. If you want an upgrade to your modem/router combo, this thing is BLAZING and you should proceed immediately to add it to your shopping cart.

I have had good experience with Netgear products in the past, and decided to use this router. Not being a tech hero the Netgear line of products are some of the most user friendly devises to set up. Another question I had was would it cover my 3500 sq ft home? After downloading the Nighthawk app, setup was a breeze. I was able to retain my SSID, and password from my old router and use it. This was a big time saver for all the household smart devises around 20. Back to the coverage concern. Well there was none. This router is providing me upper level speeds of my internet provider anywhere in the house, 25 up and around 480 down. I even have link rates on some devises clocking in at over 1000 MBPS. Another bonus is being able to access my router remotely when away from home from the app. Also you get the 30 day trial of Armor which is nice for the added layer of security. Hands down this system is easy to setup, use, and is very fast. I would recommend the RAX120 to others.

I wanted to install my Surfshark vpn on my router but this router’s firmware doesn’t have that option.

After years of faithful service from my Apple wifi and older Modem (another maker), I found this Nighthawk to be everything and more than I needed. Handles multiple devices at fast speeds.

This Wife extender has been worth every penny! My grandfather comes up from the South(Snow Birds are we call them), every Summer and stays in our camper in a our back yard. It approximately 100 yards from my house. Well I hooked the Extender up, using the app, which made it very simple and easy. But he loves it because he gets full bars and streams shows/movies easily in 4K without any leg!

I started using this device about a week ago and it works brilliantly. I have 900 Mbps speed Xfinity Internet.
Kendrick Kirlin (verified owner) –
The set-up was a little challenging as I never could get the app to recognize the router. I plugged in direct though and easily got it online and working.
Alfonso Klocko (verified owner) –
As in the title, the modem is very fast and stable. since I rented the modem from Xfinity and installed this zero problems with dropping the wifi connection, which happened quite often. I recommend it the most

Soars incredibly fast and much more consistent connections. Plus it’s nice to control the settings for my own network. Thank you Netgear.

We have a 1700 sq ft split level ranch. The cax80 is positioned in the center of the main floor. Coverage in the house exceeds my needs at speeds that max out what our iPhones and wifi devices can pull down. With a wired connection I get the top speed I pay for. When the ISP Tech came out to start our service he went on and on about how impressed he was with the cax80, even took a photo of the front of the box so he could recommend it to others.
