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 had two cable service compliant routers. This one is by far the best!

Wow, a great reliable modem that provided a much better experience than our old AX1800 from Netgear. Definitely future proof with its extensive features. Really sturdy and has adequate WiFi range. Have not had to reset it at all in the past two months since installing it (which was a pretty straightforward process)

While using to zoom on one device, I would often experience lag and freeze. The previous modem had reached its speed capacity. I purchased NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem WiFi 6 Router Combo (CAX80) because I was trying to increase the capacity and speed of my modem. Three issue has been resolved.

I was having trouble with my previous router — weak signal strength, drop outs while streaming, excessive buffering. Since installing the Netgear RAX120, I have excellent signal strength throughout my house and no drop outs with multiple streams (video and music). I am extremely happy with this product.

Could not be happier! The one we rented from optimum was crap, so I did some research and found this one online. Its all they said it was.

The wifi function is great, with strong signals, wifi 6 and great ipv6 support. It is easy to setup and everything works great. The only thing I am not satisfied is the USB sharing. This model has two USB ports, which would be great if it can support USB-printers. I just do not understand why it does not support printers, and it should not have any technical difficulties, as the old wifi 5 models supports. And if I look at the list of verified USB drives of Netgear router devices, I found that the verified USB drives of wifi 6 models are fewer than wifi 5 models. For example, WD Elements hard drive works with R7800 not RAX120. I have two WD elements hard drives, and both are not recognized by the RAX120. Hopping further upgrade of firmware will improve the performance.

Was able to integrate with my Nighthawk AX12 (RAX200) without much fuss. Has been working fine for about a month now.

Upon installation of my unit I’ve been very intrigued on all of the different options available to configure and defiantly this product is the staple for its field.

This extender is worth the money. I had a LinkSys one before and it constantly dropped the wifi and barely worked. Spend the money on this and it has worked flawlessly. Highly recommend this extender!!
