Fast, stable, secure

This router boosted my home network in every aspect. The ping decreased to 10ms. The uploads on my devices went from 5-600mbps to 900mbps on 1gb fiber. Ths router has wpa3,mu-mimo, and other various acronyms to make for a seamless coherent experience.

Great wifi network!

Does exactly what is needed for a home network. Able to prioritize personal computer and other devices on one band while moving other home devices to specific bandwidths to keep all devices running smoothly. From home assistant to cameras, lights, etc... it's been a very smooth and more reliable network than the standard issue from ISP

Best router college money can buy

Needed a router for gaming, streaming, and hosting game servers all at the same time. This bad boy has been putting in work uninterrupted straight out the box. The nighthawk app makes setup and monitoring very user friendly. To this day I have not had any hardware or software issues since purchasing

Happy router purchase

Needed a new router after lightening smoked our previous Netgear Nighthawk router we had for 3 years. Set up was very easy. Had all our devices connected quickly. App is easy to navigate. Router has great coverage. This is our 4th Netgear router. Netgear has never given us any reason to shop for another brand.

No frills

It works. Two 5GHz bands for some reason instead of one 5GHz and one 6GHz I thought I was buying. But it does have the option to bond all 3 bands into a single SSID which actually works better than having to figure out which SSID to connect to. I use this router between my Oculus/Meta Quest-3 and my HP Omen PC. Works great.

So far, works great

I bought this router about 3 weeks ago and so far I've had no problems with it whatsoever, and the speeds I get are a lot faster than the router I had before (Netgear R6400v2).

a great router

I had to buy a range extender for my old outdated router. When I bought this router I found that the range extender was no longer needed and I got great signal strength.

Major Upgrade from Wifi5

I'd had my Netgear R-8000 for about five years. When we changed from cable to cellular wifi that's Wifi6, it began dropping connections. The speed and consistency of the AX6600 is such an improvement that makes a significant difference for my full-time work at home.

so far so good

Well so far so good with the RAX70 router. Had a bit of an issue at first with setting it up, so I called tech support which put a bad taste in my mouth as the rep out me on hold and then came back telling me I had to purchase a package in order for them to help me. I hung up. After a few minutes of steaming about that I sat down and figured out what needed to be done. Out of all the routers and Mesh units I have used throughout the years this unit I have to say out performs them all especially in speed and wifi output. It actually covers my whole house. Wish I had done my investigating a few years ago.

I live in an area that has such poor cell service I was instructed to get wifi, in a small house I frequently dropped calls and had issues?until I got this bad boy! I'm so thankful I took the jump and got this! No dropped calls, no sluggish loading just a great product. I even used support to help me set it up and they were so kind and helpful!

Best router for me

This router has been great so far. Set up was easy. Many options for someone more experienced with routers and wifi usage, but also simple enough for beginners. Coverage is great and I have strong signal in every room of my house including the basement.

Futuristic

Looks great. Agent asked why I didn't get a WIFI 7 when I called for assistance in setup. Didn't know I needed a 7 but maybe I do. Consumer Reports rated this unit highly and it was on sale at Netgear. Setup didn't work with my app from the previous Nighthawk so I called support and they took care of it. Any problems of cutting out are now minimal and probably a Spectrum issue. Plenty of power.

So far so great!

We've only been using our AX6600 for about 3 weeks, but we saw an immediate increase in our Wi-Fi throughput, not surprising as the router we replaced--a Netgear N750 WNDR4300, which we loved--was 10 years old. We expect to see even faster speeds after we change our ISP.
