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.

After dealing with a 50′ Ethernet cable taped to our floor for over a year, I sprung for the CAX80 modem/router. Compatible with my provider, simple to install and the WiFi 6 easily handles my data upload/download needs. Well worth it!

I pay for a 500 mbps data plan and my first speed test was 480/23 with 18 ms ping.

If a device is off for a period of time when you turn it on there is no internet. I then have to reset the device to get internet every time

Found setting up a bit confusing but it’s a great router. I have spectrum and it works great.

We love our Netgear Nighthawk Modem and Router, so far. It was very easy to setup and you can edit the name and password that are provided. You can test your connection and speed from within the Netgear app and so far we have not had any problems connecting the many devices we have. Although the initial cost seems high, you will pay more than that to rent one from your cable company over the course of your agreement with them.

This cable modem was super easy to install. It was plug and play. For a basic user the tabs in the app are all that you need but for a more experienced user log into the router and its all there. Great speed and its everything I asked for in a cable modem.

Worked great the first day with all my devices flawlessly. Now everyday after that has been a daunting task. Having to reconnect most of my devices daily and then they don’t want to connect because the device can’t be found. It’s now just sitting there unplugged

This combo works so much better then comcast own equipment, now saving me even more money. Worth buying.

Had upgraded my internet speed with comcast to 600Mbps, my previous router was bottlenecking the full speed so I upgraded to this one. Its easily the best router in the market right now. Blazing fast speeds, very solid built security feature you can access on the iOS app and best of all its future proof so you won’t need to upgrade in the next 5-6 years.

I bought this router to utilize the VPN capabilities mainly, but it’s extremely fast, reliable and easy to setup. GUI is very intuitive, and works well. Gaming after setting up port-forwarding is screamingly quick! You cannot go wrong with Nighthawk!

It just works. Setup of the actual router was easy with only one call required to Spectrum to get initialized. Performance has been great, which is what I would expect for the price. No complaints.

Great update for our home, connects to all devices easily and is more reliable than our previous router/modem combo. Extremely fast with less drops and interruptions.

Buying a new router can be so intimidating, especially if you are not a technical guru. The 3, yes literally 3, steps during set up make that worry go away. Being able to quickly install this and get everyone back online was amazing. I would recommend this for anyone who deals with dropped calls, slow loading internet sites, and multiple users in your home. LOVE LOVE LOVE this router.

So far so good, easy set up, no issues with WiFi or Ethernet connections, haven’t had a buffering issue either 🙂

Compared to other modem router combos sold by Netgear, this is above the rest. I have ten devices, five of which can stream at the same time, without any connectivity issues. Additionally the device was easy to setup with my internet service provider and took a total of the minutes. Great product!
Esmeralda Kirlin (verified owner) –
It works with my router and the speeds are reasonable. I like that it has 4 ethernet ports. Wifi 6 is nice. At initial setup, it did not work very smoothly. It is working ok now. The range extenders software has a lackluster of features I wish there were more. Overall, it is a good product.
