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’ve had issues with wifi performance since I’ve moved into my new place. It’s 2,500 sq feet and 2 levels. It’s not an open floor plan so every room is separated by walls. I’ve tried the smaller 300mb extenders from NETGEAR and while they did ok I was still not able to stream multiple instances of live video at all upstairs while hardwired into my smaller extender. With the nighthawk extender I can stream 3+ instances of live sports video without any buffering. And I have 0 dead spots in my home it’s well worth whatever price it’s sold for.

My connection has never failed me. I use this for work and call center is very demanding with vpn’s and virtual desktops slowing down internet speeds. I now get speeds as fast as my ISP will allow me. I am a gamer on the side. So, if you want monster speeds and excellent connection get this. Also, my job requires hard wired connection, so I have the demand of Ethernet with the flexibility of WI-FI. TBH support was not the best, but they resolve most of your problems. My issue was that I used the same admin password for two devices and every time I would try to work on one device it would pick up the other. Make sure you have separate passwords. Lol overall a great product.

Easy to set up and was more powerful than my router. It sends excellent signal throughout my house and into the yard.

The 5 G range is not very good. I had to purchase extenders in order to reach 50 feet from the router.

My CAX80 was outrageously simple to set up and the speed, capabilities and options are unrivaled. I went from an average of 250 mbps with my old modem to 625 mbps on nearly all my devices. I love the NIGHTHAWK app and the ease with which I can see all 18 devices and whether they are on 2.4GHz or 5GHz. The monthly savings over the ISP rental is amazing as well and setting up and activating the modem couldn’t have gone easier. My only regret: I wish I’d made the move much sooner!!

Great router that has had no problem keeping up with the increased demand from working at home and the kids online school.

Instant improvement over my old modem and router, actually getting the speeds I’m supposed to.

So far I have been away at the speed it’s giving through WiFi. Exceptional coverage, I have full bars of signal in my whole place. This is by far the best modem/router I’ve purchased
Brannon Weimann (verified owner) –
Over all I am happy with my purchase, the speed is good and working fine until now. But in the installation instruction, the first step is to scan the QR code which is not working. This caused many difficulties…

Switched to this router after my old one was deemed incompatible with Xfinity . Took me awhile to set up, but it’s all up and running. Lots of extra features and a helpful app. Extremely fast wired and Wi-Fi. Perfect those who want the best.

Adding the CAX80 Nighthawk has brought our download speed to meet Xfinity’s expectations and ours! Thanks NETGEAR.

I was able to set this modem/router up very easily. I live that I’m able to use the access control feature from my phone even when I’m not home. Love this router.
