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.

Man I upgraded from a Cox cable modem to this one and I’m in heaven. This modem exceeded all my expectations.

This is the first product i ever experienced wifi 6 and it is really impressive. I love the sleek low key design. Its very easy to blend it with the rest of my house.

Setup was extremely easy with the Nighthawk app. The modem/router combo works very well with my Internet provider. It is very fast and has not disconnected at all since setup. I believe this Netgear Nighthawk is the best internet tool I have purchased…. I love it!

Easy to setup and connect using my Iphone Netgear App. Download speed in excess of 950 and upload at 35. Does the job and Signal Strength great.

We had trouble keeping a stable connection with multiple smart home devices until now. Best modem/router money can buy. Our internet was not only more secure and stable, but it actually got faster. We were only getting 500-600mb/s now we get what we pay for 900-1000mb/s. Best part about it all is that I don’t have to pay rental fees for ISP devices anymore, so it’ll pay itself off eventually. 10 out of 10. 5 stars every day of the week.

Setup was entirely easy. Well, almost entirely. I can only get this to work while connected to my modem by Ethernet. Won’t work wirelessly

I have the best internet in the world – if others knew how spectacular this is…

This router has been nothing but trouble. While it may work for a bit, you will encounter dropped connections and slow speeds. I have tried numerous configurations and resets. NETGEAR support is basically useless and will only give you a runaround on what should be an excellent product out of the box. Look elsewhere.

working well but does not appear to support extending guest networks in addition to regular networks which is disappointing

Before even upgrading to high speed internet, you could notice a huge boost in speed. After, it was even faster. Great job.

I consistently lose internet, support will not help at all. Very frustrating for a 400 dollar piece of equipment

So far this has been great. Better coverage and signal strength.

My Modem/Router, Mesh system with Router Booster and Satellites, have improved my WiFi by 100%. Excellent investment.

the RAX120 is a superb router. delivers great speed, looks even better and was easy to set up through the app.

I brought this modem as a upgrade. I was surprised how easy it was to set up especially if you have xfinity.
Eladio Lehner (verified owner) –
More hiccups in service/wifi than the modem we had rented from Xfinity. Good range and speed when working but notable more interruptions

Works like expected. Great choice if you need internet in more places.
