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.

This is a great router. It has all the required connections and I was able to attached 2 usb drives of 5TB each and they were instantly visible on the nework. It has plenty of Ethernet ports to accomodate all my devices that use wired. I would recommend this product for home use!

This modem router can handle many devices at a time and still get very high speeds. My problem is that with thirty devices, our speed drops 200mbs.

Thanks to Nighthawk I was able to replace my previous router with a quicker, faster, better router which resolved all my internet connection issues.

I’ve noticed a significant speed boost and optimal signal strength on all my devices throughout the house. Netgear’s Nighthawk app made the installation process extremely quick and easy. I’m looking forward to exploring the app for its many security and protection features.

I have a multi generation household with 6 adults. Entire smart house, streaming and gaming, this router has no issues handling it all.

I am using this mesh range extender with my Nighthawk router. I am on a Fiber internet service and it was not functioning as it should because of weak signals until I used this Netgear Wi-Fi setup and have gotten excellent results. I live in a rural area and signals are weak but I am happy to say this is no longer a problem.

Easy to setup with current netgear night hawk. It immediately recognized the router and setup was easy.

New install was easy to setup and the speed is great as well as the distance for the Wi-Fi for connection within home and outside! Love the extra security with bitdefender as well!

Whether working in my home office or handling over 4 wired and 10 to 15 wireless users everyone has great connectivity. On rare occasions streaming is effected.

This router is a massive improvement from my previous Netgear AC3200 nighthawk X6. While my old router worked great I was only getting half the internet speed I was paying for. Since upgrading to the AX12 I’m getting all the speed I’m paying for and more. I went from a constant 250mbps to 480mbps with just this router. The AX12 has a nice sleek design with the antennas hidden in the two wings that make it look awesome. Easy set up, true plug and play. Able to name the router the same as my previous model and same password had all my devices automatically connect to the new router and saved me the hassle of reconnecting everything. Would highly recommend this router to anyone that streams movies, plays games, or even just does online school.

I bought this 6 months ago and worked for about 1 month and now it’s just a paper weight. Does not work on my camera that is only about 15 feet away from it.

The RAX80 is running as expected – it was an easy install and I easily was able to connect my nighthawk extender. I also appreciate the sleek design …

It works as desired haven’t put the speed to any major strain but seems good

Installed this a couple of weeks ago to reach the far corners of the house. So far is working is as intended. Great signal throughout the house, seamless and transparent. It was a little buggy on the set up, but I think it was the Nighthawk app for iPhone causing three tries. A little pricy for what it does, but great so far.
