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.

Good setup, hopefully the last one I have to purchase for years to come. (Until the move to fiber in my area) The app has trouble connecting for a while, had to reset the nighthawk a few times even though it was working, it wasn’t showing up in the app. I would say if you have lots of smart devices in your home and the router is the same frequency change the name and password to the same name and password as your old router and your devices will jump right over like nothing ever changed. I have 22 connected devices and changing the name is way easier than converting 22 devices over. Good overall product, but it is quite pricey.

The dual verification for login as well as active monitoring and access makes this productexceptionally appealing for Home or Small Business Networks.

My apple airport router decided it wanted to quit accepting speeds beyond 250 , when I upgraded my service I wanted the best and believe this Darth Vader blasts speeds that exceed the galaxy ( meaning the wifi range is unbelievable) ability to go 2.5-5g amazing. I don’t regret this purchase one bit and look forward to many years out of this easy to use router along with the app. Many users complain about the firmware update but honestly that’s what makes this product unique is its constantly evolving and bringing you nothing but the best.

Just bought it after speaking with support on the best extender to go with Nighthawk X10 R9000 Router. Have spent the last 2 days trying to connect it to my WiFi network. Did everything pre the set up guide, the internet tutorials, set up support order and spoke with person I could hardly understand. Finally got it to show up on my WiFi network. Got it connected once, then it kicked off. Now back to trying to reset it and trying it all again tomorrow. Very frustrating.

The NETGEAR EAX80 was a good investment! Set-up was not easy, however: there is an inconsistency among online instructions, “quick start” literature instructions that comes with the device, and the NIGHTHAWK App on how to successfully setup this Extender. The instructions are not user-friendly and not consistent across the different platforms available for to the consumer for self-serve assistance. Thanks to the Complimentary Customer Service available during the first 90 days of device purchase, I was able to obtain “human” support on the 2nd night of my attempt to setup my Extender. An agent was able to walk me step-by-step in order to get the AX80 Extender working. Were it not for the challenging setup, I would rate this Device Five Stars. Netgear needs to create a seamless transition from packaging to home use with simple to follow instructions across the board

Unit can handle many wifi devises at the same time ;my security cameras, PC, TV’s, phones and tablets all work better, faster with the CAX80. The app that is downloaded with it is great.

Overall, the device is fairly easy to setup with decent security out of the box. In addition, it has some nice to have features that I haven’t seen in similar devices I previously owned. Keep up the good work!
