Works as described

Increased speed 3X old router. Need to do some more work on setup. Was a little harder than expected to get up and running. Looks like a bat more that a hawk.

What I needed!

This product is awesome. It improved my internet connection in my two-story house. It was impossible for me to have a decent reception while in the 2nd floor, but since I bought this device, my problem was solved. It is also useful if you want to use the Playstation portal. I was unable to maintain a single game while with my old router. Fully recommend it!

Works Great

I needed new router because I went from cable to fiber internet. This has worked great and I have TV's in every room and two in the garage. No buffering.

NETHEAR Nighthawk Rules

The NETHEAR Nighthawk AX6600 rules! It was super easy to set up and get started using the app. All my devices stay connected and I am able to stream programs on my TV's without any hesitation. Great product, I would highly recommend!!!

Unlocking 600 Mbps on a 1 Gbps Plan

I upgraded from a Wi-Fi 5 TP-Link that barely pushed 110-160 Mbps on my 1 Gbps plan to the Netgear RAX70, and now I'm consistently getting over 600 Mbps on multiple devices. Setup was a breeze via the Nighthawk app, and the tri-band Wi-Fi 6 keeps my six devices from competing for bandwidth. Streaming 4K video and video calls have been rock-solid, with zero drop-outs. For $179, it's an unbeatable way to finally unlock your full internet speed.

Excellent Coverage

Relaced my older Netgear router with this new Nighthawk because the old one could not keep up. I was having to use multiple extenders throughout my house to accommodate all my equipment, especially outside security cameras. After installing the new router, I could actually hook up all cameras to one wi-fi channel and the cameras react much faster when I need to use them from my app. Not to mention the strength of the signal to my computers, tvs, and smart home devices. No more losing my wi-fi at the most inconvenient times.

Not good

I'm a long-time user of Netgear products, but this is a terrible design!! I'll cite a couple of major flaws. 1) It's almost impossible to remove the RJ45 plugs once they are firmly inserted because there is a superfluous lip on the bottom of the router that extends half an inch beyond the rear panel. 2) The lights that indicate whether or not a port is active are not placed over the port they represent. 3) Setup requires an internet connection, which cannot be obained until the device is setup. That's a

Absolutely Fantastic

For years I've used old cheap routers and have always wondered why I was never getting what my internet provider promised me. Recently I took the plunge and bought the Netgear Nighthawk and the difference has been night and day. Not only is my connection incredibly stable and reliable, but I am even getting faster speeds than I am paying my provider for (I am paying for 500 MB and I am getting over 600 MB with the Nighthawk.) To everyone who is on the fence, please, get the Nighthawk. This product is absolutely amazing.

Exceptional Router for the Price

I got the router on discount and it has been amazing so far. The management interface is extremely informative and simple to understand. The phone app was a great addition too. Anywhere Access is something I haven't used before, but I'll definitely be expecting it from routers in the future since it's such a good feature.

Good router

Easy setup range seems pretty good. Our bedroom is close to the router but still a dead zone (1800sq house) so this is the reason for 4 stars. Had to buy NETGEAR range extender which seemed to do the trick but disappointing had to buy additional piece for this already expensive router.

Bought this router to replace an old nether router I had for 9-10 years. Really easy to install and getting super fast speed on all my devices both hardwired and WiFi. If you need a new router, this is the one!

NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream AX6600

After much difficulty, finally got the router set up. The unit worked intermmittently. It kept cutting WiFi broadcast off. I could not get a responsive customer support. Was given a case number, but received a call back after 2 days, after I gave up. With so much hassle, I decided to return the unit to Amazon while my return window is still valid. Very disappointing. And Netgear is made in U.S. too, but customer support I had is in an Indian call center. I could make out the language in the background.

Nighthawk router review

Our new router seems to work well, despite it's batt-wing looking antennas. Our wireless signal is much stronger throughout the house now and even out in the yard. No more buffering for us!

Worth it

25 devices on at all times and this thing is solid! I like that I can set device preference on both wifi and ethernet for my gaming set-up, not to mention the device smart placement setting. Highly recommend with its user friendly app interface and set-up.
