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.

The only regret I have with this purchase is not making it sooner! It makes a lot of difference with my wifi accessibility throughout my 2100 sq foot house.

Hardware upgrade needed, but our provider failed to tell us. We bought this Nighthawk, a suggestion from a techy friend… app makes it easy to setup

I have a 400 MB Internet provider with spectrum. I installed the router and tested the speed. I did multiple test the router was extremely slow and my 3 year old router was still faster.

We used this router to go from our metal building used for an office, to have WiFi in the house. The router works perfect and saved us from having 2 internet bills!!

Recently bought nighthawk CAX80, it has been great addition allowing multiple devices be used on device and speeds. It gives me the speeds for my gaming consoles as well throughout the house. Would recommend this router/modem combo for any household.

So far everything has worked flawlessly. We are very happy. Netgear is a trusted brand and we were looking for that trust

I was worried that connecting via an extension will take same bandwidth away, but not with this router. The extension is around 50 ft apart with two floor in between, still the connection is good.

This is a great product. I use it in my house because I wasn’t able to get Wi-Fi in my room and now I’m able to get Wi-Fi and I have Ethernet so I can fully use my Wi-Fi

The extender fixed all issues I had and helps me to secure a 100% wifi connection everywhere in my house.

Upgraded from a 2 year old small basic router that was also a Netgear. Didn’t think I needed to upgrade but spent the dollar anyways and this thing definitely carried its weight. I have been renting a private server and we have 3 platforms running games and have not had a single issue. Reason for 4 stars – I get random emails now about charging my card for antivirus protection. Pretty certain it happened since I created my Netgear account with the CAX80.

Quick and easy set up. With an easy connect application or by hitting WPS you’re instantly ready to connect more devices. Application shows you everything you could want to see. The extra Ethernet ports are a plus as well.

So I’ve had the device for about weeks now and I love it. I’m a hard-core gamer and I also stream so it’s important to have a good connection. I live in a back house and I’m pretty far from the router in the main house. I Google the best extender and the nighthawk came up. So I bought it and it changed my life. I’m no longer disconnecting or dropping out of my games or streams. My gf also connects her work devices to the wifi while I play and we are both able to run wifi seamlessly with no drop outs. I would highly recommend this device to anyone that has a router that’s pretty far or not centralized in your house.
