NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream WiFi 6 Router (RAX70) - Security Features, AX6600 Tri-Band Wireless Speed (up to 6.6 Gbps) - Coverage up to 2,500 sq. ft., 40 Devices

Update: 3.9.35 My previous review of the NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE 300 was not as accurate as it should have been to properly exhibit its awesome ability to blast Wi-Fi signals as they were meant to be. Unfortunately, my internet provider, provided me with a modem that was not the right one for my setup as explained to me by a recent service technician coming to my house for a different problem. Apparently, the modem I had at the time was wasting a significant amount of my bandwidth. He switched it out with the right one and I retested the wireless speeds with the Oolkla Internet Speed Test app. Now, it turns out my speeds are consistently in the 900's (see inset picture) instead of the low 700's (see the earlier posted inset picture compliments of my previously poorly trained IP tech). (My modem is a 1Gig download and 20 Mbps upload.) Since using the right modem, the NETGEAR RAXE 300, has no problem broadcasting and maintaining the faster speeds. There's no signal drop, just solid WIFI. I'm using the RAXE300 as an access point and it is connected to a NETGEAR RAXE600 with 100 feet of CAT 6 Ethernet cable and to now be getting almost maximum modem speeds at that distance is a tremendous tribute to NETGEAR's engineering. My highest recommendations are for this NETGEAR RAXE300 Router for reasonable cost, excellent design and unbelievable consistent range and speeds. A while back I had purchased a NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 router because I couldn't get decent speeds at the other end of the house where I spend the majority of my time with previous routers and had even tried an extender without much improvement. Still not satisfied with the modest improvement with the RAXE500 because of too many barriers throughout the house, I made the decision to buy this NETGEAR RAXE300 and set it up as an Access Point after running one hundred feet of CAT 6e ethernet cable to connect the two. I called NETGEAR Tech Support just to make sure I had a clean install from the beginning and I'm really glad I did, they were excellent to work with and what was once only a dream, now is a reality because as you can see by the inset picture, I'm getting a solid 700 plus Wi-Fi download speeds from my 1 Gbps download, 20 Gbps upload modem at the other end of the house. The router was simple to set up, no hiccups from start to finish. I get consistent speeds all day long and the app you can download for your phone makes it easy to log on from anywhere to check on it or make changes. The router itself is a very cool looking piece of electronic wizardry and has 6 strategically placed antennas placed throughout the wings. I give this NETGEAR RAXE300 5 Stars for cool design, consistency of speeds, ease of setup and cost to emotional value.

Title: Great Router, Easy to Set Up Description: Reliable and easy setup with strong coverage. Works smoothly with streaming and everyday use. Very satisfied with this router.

I recently purchased this Nighthawk router, and it’s brilliant. It’s very easy to set up, decent value for the money, and the functionality is great. It provides stable coverage with good signal strength throughout all three floors of my house. I’ve been using Netgear routers for about 20 years now, and they’ve performed well with a good life span. This unit is a good reminder why I keep coming back to them.

Coming off of a system that was probably at least 10 years old this was a substantial upgrade in speed and range. The set up was very easy using the Nighthawk app. I love being able to see in a couple clicks all the devices that are on the network. This makes adding wired and wireless devices back to the new network really easy even with older devices.

Best Wifi router I've ever used at the house. It's not cheap, but this router rips! I recently had T-Mobile Fiber installed in my home. 1 Gb service, blah, blah, blah... Here's the endorsement: The WiFi router that T-Mobile provided (Nokia Beacon G6) worked great at the fiber modem. However, by the time that signal reached my office in the back corner of my house the speeds dropped to 70-75 Mbs download and 35-40 Mbs upload. Ugh. Workable, but less than acceptable. T-Mobile offered extenders, I didn't want to go that route. So, I swapped out the Nokia router with my Netgear Nighthawk and Voila! 250+ download and 175+ upload. The Nighthawk works great with the Intrepid fiber modem and no need for extenders. I highly recommend this product!

The router was very easy to install through my hard-wired desktop computer. Because I named the 2.4 GHz network the same as on the old router, with the same password, all my smart devices connected automatically. But the Nighthawk app that I installed on my phone for remote access to the router is atrocious. I uninstalled it after NETGEAR insisted that I create a NETGEAR account and agree to a predatory privacy policy. Not going to happen. The automatic firmware update also didn't update to the newest version 1.0.20.174 posted on the NETGEAR website, rather only 1.0.19. xxx (forgot the last digits). But because everything works smoothly so far (30 minutes after the installation), four stars.

Title: Night hawk tri band Description: I love the nighthawk tri band wifi router it is fast and works flawlessly handling around 30 different items in my household I highly recommend this item

The NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router (RAX54S) proved to be an exceptional upgrade for our home network. The setup process was incredibly smooth; it was very easy to get the router configured and running, making the transition to 5g completely hassle-free. The accompanying mobile application was a pleasure to use, providing an easy-to-interface dashboard for monitoring the network, managing connected devices and accessing settings. I was particularly impressed with the built-in security features, which provided excellent, robust protection right out of the box. In terms of performance, the coverage is outstanding, eliminating dead zones throughout our house. Crucially, we can now use all of our high-bandwidth streaming devices simultaneously; 4K video, gaming and video calls, with no issues, buffering or latency problems whatsoever. This router is a powerful, reliable investment for a modern connected home.

Does have wifi 6E and it works beautifully, I use that for VR. Easy to work with interface and the wifi range is standard Cons: - Invasive firmware - Too expensive for what it is - Doesn't have a socket for fiber cables

Muy fácil de instalar y el internet es mucho más rápido

Instalación muy simple y mejoras en la velocidad y distancia.

Este router lo compré para reemplazar el R7800 y estoy muy satisfecho por el cambio, tengo el doble de velocidad de transferencia comparado con el 7800, es súper estable, no lo reinicié desde que lo compré a la fecha que estoy escribiendo este comentario. Tiene muy buen alcance en un radio de 100m2. El único detalle que tiene es que en México no se la banda de 6GHZ, por ende si lo compras pensando usar esa banda, con este router no va, por eso le saco una estrella. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
