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.

Bought the ax6000 thinking I was upgrading my Wi-Fi from the standard spectrum router. Wi-Fi signal increased over the house but the nighthawk starts dropping internet throughout the day and we have to reboot it 2-3 times a day to use internet. Most inconvenient Wi-Fi I’ve ever had. Seems like the fan in our nighthawk might be bad, not turning on. Shouldn’t have to spend so much on a router that doesn’t perform

set up process was super easy with the nighthawk phone app, and also the security software on the router was surprisingly good. I discovered that my firestick was sending unauthorized data! will only ever be buying netgear hardware for networking now. quality is next level compared to the rest

Great WiFi signal. Eliminated the use of extenders on my 2 story home with basement.

This router is fast and has a super range. Covers my entire property without any extender. Now I can run cameras, lights and fountains anywhere on my property.

We had to upgrade modem-router after upgrading internet speed. The CAX80 did not disappoint. Worth the money, an investment for current internet speed and even for another upgrade (if provider adds more speed). You will not regret buying this because Netgear also has great customer technical support service.

This device does not increase the number of devices of the network. Firesticks connected to it freeze making them unusable. The app says its not connected.

this router actually maximizes, my super slow internet, for each device automatically selecting which frequency to use for best signal. I read that it covers up to 2500sqft. I can attest to that, my wifi covers my whole house front and back porch and even my garage and shop. The app makes it super easy to setup, and you can manage everything about the router through the app. Well worth the money, even if others see it as wasted on slow internet.

I upgraded to the Gigablast internet and so I needed to upgrade my modem (Netgear CM700) and my router (Nighthawk X4s) I trust Netgear products because I have NEVER had an issue with modems or routers from Netgear. The New Modem (CM2000) works perfectly with the Nighthawk AX12/12. Super fast internet and streaming. I am happy with our upgrade.

It is a significant improvement over my old modem and router, I have better download and upload speeds now, thanks for this great Nighthawk.

This was very easy to set up. The Wi-Fi is very extensive and excellent across a 2000 square foot home. Multiple devices can run at once it has plenty of ports to run ethernet cables for hard-wiring as well.

My son, who has his PS4 gaming system just 50 feet away from our cable modem/wireless router was so fed up with the constant lag he was getting with his NBA2K 20, FortNight and other shooter games. Ever since I got this Nighthawk router, I have not heard a peep from him. In addition, the rest of the family that is using the Nighthawk has been very pleased with the speed and lack of lag.
