NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (RAXE300) - Security Features, AXE7800 Wireless Gigabit Speed (Up to 7.8Gbps), New 6GHz Band, 8-Streams Cover 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: Easy install and great Wi-Fi range Description: Super simple install, the range of coverage is awesome compared to the typical rental offered by providers. The connection are solid, speeds are significantly higher. I've had good steady, solid connections.

The first thing that anyone considering this router needs to know is: 1) in their infinite stupidity, Netgear has sub models of this router whose sole difference is that they hardwire the region 2) you have no idea when you order from Amazon what sub model you will get 3) this matters because different wireless bands are enabled or disabled depending on the region 4) you cannot change the region; even if you log into the admin account using the web GUI, the region is fixed The first unit that I bought from Amazon was hard wired to Canada, even tho I live in the US. It took me a while to figure this out, after a lot of wasted time with Netgear tech support. By the time I realized the problem, my Amazon return period had just ended. So, at my own shipping expense, I had to return this router to Netgear for a replacement. Netgear did send me replacement whose region is US, but again, it is fixed and cannot be changed. I may be moving internationally soon, so not being able to bring my router is a big deal. I see no reason why Netgear should do this region fixing--unless they were blackmailed into it by the FCC. But even if they were, they need to communicate this fact to people, not leave land mines for them to step on. This region defect is a shame because this is otherwise an outstanding router. Great features, great performance, great web GUI, and I love the sturdy gull wing antennas. All the above is why I rated this router 1 star overall yet 5 stars on each individual item. This reflects my very split views on this device. I hope that this 1 star review catches the attention of someone at Netgear.

This router works great. All my devices function quite well with it. Easy to set up and get going! I’m getting faster speeds than I ever have.

Love this router, great coverage, easy set up. Great stability so far with no issues

Works fine as a router. However, when the kids came home from college for the summer we bumped up against the ISP's monthly data usage limits. Without device statistics I have no good way to point at anyone to tell them to cut it out. Moved it over to a bedroom as an AP and grabbing a new main router for the house.

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

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.
