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 got stronger and further signals but when I ran the speed test, the speed was bit lower when using this extension

My internet plan with Soectrum is up to 200mbps, with this combo modem and router my speed tests are around 230Mbps, I’m not sure how but I love. The range is amazing too, I get consistent speeds when I’m in the garage which is important if your garage door motor uses wifi.

Easy setup. Great Wi-Fi speed and good coverage area. Solid choice for my Xfinity 1200 mbps plan. A little pricey, but would definitely recommend to someone with a Gigabit plan.

We had the previous version of this extended that took a lightning hit. I am very particular of what i put in my network. this device by far has the furthest range and highest speeds we have seen so far. Thank you netgear for creating such an awesome network range extender.

I am very impressed with the speed of the router, also the amount of devices you can add. I couldn’t update 2020 Ford Explorer systems at old apts. because No capable WiFi with range for 10 months.

The EAX80 wifi extender is a great complement to the CAX80 modem/router. Excellent speeds, no drops, install of both was painless. They were a great upgrade.

Excellent internet speed without questions. If you’re looking for a top notch modem give the NETGEAR CAX80 a go.

I was having such issues with my previous cable modem/router. This one is lightning fast, has a great interface, handles signal/frequency conflicts and just WORKS! It was worth every penny.

Very easy to install with the nighthawk app. It Covers the entire house without a break in coverage. More or less, once its installed you can forget about it.

From set up to operation, our Nighthawk CAX80 is flawless. One of the easiest modems to set up out of the box and the most reliable when it comes to running multiple data hungry devices. We have tried many other brands and now that we have purchased and used a Nighthawk modem/router, we wouldn’t use anything else. Finally, a reliable, easy to use, modem router that provides excellent coverage and speed at a decent price. Well done Netgear, well done.

Internet is a lot faster than what we had previously. Had some issues getting it to start working, but I think that was an xfinity issue and no really related to this system. We’re finally getting the speed we’re paying for. Would recommend!

The cable modem/router installed easily without any issues. Called the Spectrum and they switched the required information quickly and the modem/router was up and running. Great piece of equipment.

I had purchased 300 download, and the modem helps me get 350. With my previous experience, the wifi was also a lot lower. Very Happy with the modem
