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 a RAX35 that with best placement covers about 4,000 sq ft, but the signal is at one to two bars on either side of the house. I bought one EAX80 and plan to buy a second. So far, it has worked great at boosting the signal inside the house and provides great connection outside of the house.

Great cable modem router easy to connect and maintains the high-speed internet from my provider. I recommend anyone to use netgear for best Wi-Fi connections.

Love WiFi 6 but most of my devices operate on WiFi 5 so not getting much of advantage until I upgrade other devices. Most of my 2.4Ghz devices are not even available in WiFi 6 yet.

A bit expensive but will pay itself off. Very easy to set up with my ISP (COX). Will be a great asset when faster internet speeds become available.

I have gone through my fair share of routers and this by far and away is the best router that I have personally used. I would highly recommend it to any user that is looking for the best speeds, user interface as well as some nice add-ons.

I added the EAX80 to my existing equipment to help eliminate a few dead spots we had in and around the house. After a few moves to find that sweet spot the EAX80 has eradicated our connectivity issues. Thanks for another great product Net Gear Nighthawk!

I was having major troubles with my previous router, but once I upgraded to this winged basta**, that all changed. The setup was the simplest I have ever had too. Wifi and wired speed faster, and further with the wifi.

We were having signal drop out and intermittent dead spots in our home. With the AX12, signal is solid everywhere now and No dead spots. A great router at a good price.

I have been researching this product for months and when I finally pulled the trigger, I was blown away by the improvements over my last machine. This was easy to set up and worked perfectly out of the box. I work from home and game and this device has improved the quality of both activities immensely!

I was using a Netgear R8000 and was experiencing issues of random multiple daily reboots with upgraded firmwares. Resorted to older firmwares which cut it down to once a day. Changed to the RAX120 and it has been great. Speed and reach are better and it has been up for a week without so much as a hiccup!!

I bought this to get away from renting one from our internet provider to save money and hopefully improve our internet from dropping out!!! And Wow did this router modem not disappoint but excel my expectations not only did our internet stop dropping out but it was faster and the signal definitely reached farther! I would definitely recommend this to everyone!!!

Works very well. The 5G is weak on other floors but still sufficient. Nearer to the unit it’s really good.
