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 have been really impressed with my CAX80. It is fast, supports a ton of wifi systems, streaming is a breeze with my Nighthawk.

I have a total of 39 devices connected. Super fast. No buffering. Gaming and streaming not a problem.

It Works what more do you need to know, Its over priced and will last until it becomes obsolete like the last one hoping for at least 5 years or more, last one was only 3 years old

Little difficult to set up for a non techie but Nextgear support was a great help.

Bought this router in February 2022 and by May 2022 both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi signals no longer worked. Hard wired ethernet ports continued working just fine, but no WiFi meant I had to hook up my old router to run most things in my home.

Works as expected and delivers on most of its promises. I found its 5ghz network to only go about as far as my older nighthawk (~2016 edition) but obviously much better speeds now. Still wound up needing an extender in a 1800sqft home.

Have a few floors in my house that were preventing my router from reaching with good range to higher floors. This extender does the trick. With the Nighthawk app, I was able to remotely set the device up and see in real time how my two internet devices communicated and split the connected devices.

Very happy with this throughout my home. The app used with the router is easy to use and helpful.

Excellent extender, easy to set up and provides good, stable and strong coverage. The mesh extender is far superior to the antennae extenders.

Works great with my house full of girls always on the net

The AX6000 is slow, the status reads poor connectivity when i log into my genie. Ive contacted costumer service for both my internet provider and netgear with each pointing the finger to one another. Ive had no issues prior with the AC1900, I may have received a defective unit. Not satisfied with this purchase.

We’ve had it hooked up for about a week and some days and this thing is amazing. We have about 30 devices across 3700 sq/ft and it is running speeds of at least 250 mbps at the farthest points in the house and around 120 mbps at the street another 100 ft away. Super easy to set up and use. Highly recommended. Would buy again.

Tried a few other brands to cover the property. Does so and then some. Worth the price for widespread Wi-Fi!

This is an expensive product, that just haunts you to buy internet protection with it, should include for lifetime

Bought the CAX80 because it was a top-end modem router. So far — at least once the kinks with my ISP were worked out — it’s been great: super high speeds and a solid signal. Hope it continues on this path!

This modem/ router is amazing. It’s super fast and easy to set up. The Nighthawk app has lots of control and trouble shooting features. It’s future proof as well, with speeds up to 6 Gbps! I would recommend this modem/ router to anyone looking to upgrade!
