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.

Great modem/router combo. Easy to setup and add extenders if needed. Easy to access and modify security settings and restrictions.

This router is a little tricky to set up. Took me almost an hour to do so but once it was set. The router outperformed my expectations.

Finally found a modem/router that works great for running a couple game consoles without teenagers complaining about “lag”. Has given me much more peace….

This mesh extender was easy to set up and install. It has been working since adding it to my home network. My son has no complaints either. His gaming experience has greatly improved, no more lag. Fantastic results, Highly recommend.

I knew I was getting the premium end of the wireless routers getting this but was blown away by the range and quality of this. After upgrading from my old Linksys router my range doubled, I’m able to get access out on my deck and by pool that my old router never reached.

Would of given 5 stars but this is a replacement for my parents house. I have one at my own house that is working great. If you have problems just return it and don’t bother going through technical support as it was a nightmare for me.

Extremely happy with the Nighthawk CAX80! Setup was quick and simple. Wi-Fi range covers my entire house. The speed is super fast and much better that the rented cable modem from my ISP. Definitely would recommend.

Great device. Only swapped for the 6600 because I needed the tri-band.

I don’t like changes, so when I unboxed my new Nighthawk it didn’t work like most guys trying to do it without reading the instructions. So after reading the instructions I download the Nighthawk application. So step by step I followed the instructions you made it so easy. A little pricey for a Retiree but I’ve always say if you want the BEST you buy the best. And believe me this one is the BEST on the market. So thank you Netgear Nighthawk AC12 job well done. Ken

I needed to upgrade my modem and found the Netgear CAX80. It had all the specs that I was looking for in a modem. And it can handle all the future upgrades.Thanks Netgear.

This unit works as described. The problem is it died just shy of a year. Yes it’s under warranty still but having to send it back and wait for a replacement would have taken to long.

I recently bought the NightHawk EAX80 extender after looking up so recommended ones and this one was hands down the best one in other peoples experiences. It was a bit out of my budget, but I do not regret it at all. I mean over 2000 square feet of coverage and multiple devices added on? I game quite a bit so this was a match made in heaven!

Was easy to setup and connect all my devices. My internet is running smoother than it ever has.

We already had a Nighthawk AX12 in our 1100sf condo but when we moved to a house with an unattached garage and over an acre of property, we found the drop-off in signal wasn’t meeting our needs. We bought AX6000. Installation was simple. Not only did we hook it up to the Xbox for faster speeds but now our garage and deck have WIFI! My WIFI-controlled outdoor security lights function properly, as well. Great investment.

I purchased this modem/router to replace the standard one from the cable company because it could not handle all of our devices in our Smart Home. It works great and is faster.

Needed something that could effortlessly handle all my wireless devices as my previous Nighthawk was dropping wifi quite a bit. This one is well worth the money and should be working great even a few years from now.
